it.Without a restoration of economic sovereignty to the region and its people, it is unclear how even the strongest constitutions can address the material consequences of imperialist economic domination.All in all, Arab Constitutionalism is unprecedented in its breadth and its detailed attention to constitutional design processes, which are regularly missing from comparative constitutional scholarship.The book is a valuable contribution grounded in an optimistic belief that the negative outcomes of the 2011 uprisings were not inevitable and can be prevented in the future.Al-Ali's vision for a way forward highlighting constitutional negotiations that center the voices, needs, and prosperity of the individual is a hopeful one.Those invested in emancipatory futures for the region would do well to engage with the author's observations and recommendations.The book should be required reading for researchers and other actors interested in constitutional law and theory in and beyond the region.
