Annual Review of Constitution-Building: 2022
International IDEA’s Annual Review of Constitution-Building series provides a retrospective account of constitutional transitions around the world, the issues that drive them, and their implications for national and international politics.
2022 was another year of widespread constitutional instability. The main trend of constitutional change in recent years has been in unilateral, executive-driven processes, where reform is used to entrench the individual or group in power, in keeping with the broader trend of democratic backsliding, whereby governments have used the law as a weapon to diminish or destroy political competition.
