Constitutional drafters often look to foreign constitutional models, ideas, and texts for inspiration; many are explicit about their foreign borrowing.

Political scientists and scholars of comparative constitutional law have analyzed the transnational movement of constitutional ideas and norms, but the political processes through which the meaning of foreign p…
The Rule of Law and Political Liberalization in the Arab Gulf
Humane wars? International law, Just War theory and contemporary armed humanitarian intervention
The contemporary international law of war is torn between the pressure to incorporate a doctrine to legitimize limited armed humanitarian intervention and its traditional concerns for nations' sovereignty.

Civic apathy in the service of stability? Cultural politics in Monarchist Morocco

Employing historical and media analysis of two recent political events in Morocco (the 1975 Green March and the 1990 no‐confidence motion tabled…
