Notes
- ^ "Over the past century and a half, the Arab world has grown rich in constitutions – documents that spell out the basic legal framework for governing – without growing richer in constitutionalisms-limited and accounted government. Basic laws have proliferated but few Arab governments have been restricted in their authority by them." (Brown 2012, p. xiv)
