Recenzii
Nimer Sultany's Law and Revolution offers a long overdue corrective to a canon of legal theory that gives African and Asian experiences short shrift. It likewise poses a serious challenge to strands of area studies that, for all their claims of superseding orientalism, continue to approach entire regions in the Global South as mere sources of empirical data rather than dynamic sites possessing generative theoretical capacity. But there is much more to this exceedingly important book than introducing legal theorists to the Middle East or bringing legal theory to Middle East studies. Perhaps it could be best characterized as a work of epistemological reversal, utilizing a deep reading of the Arab Spring to critique conceptual orthodoxies.
It is hard to be too effusive in one's praise for this book. It is groundbreaking for several reasons: first, it removes constitutional politics in the Arab world from some exotic margin of constitutional studies and places it in the center of cutting-edge debates about the relationship of revolution to rule of law, the rule of law and legitimacy, and constituent power and constituted power, showing how the Arab experience both enriches constitutional theory and is enriched by it; second, its theoretical sophistication is unmatched by any other work in the field of Arab constitutional politics; and, third, it takes seriously the contributions of Arab constitutional lawyers themselves by incorporating their arguments and analysis into the structure of the book instead of treating them simply as derivative authors with nothing relevant to contribute to constitutional theory.
... a well-timed and excellent contribution to the subject areas of constitutional theory and Arab legal studies. It will serve as a springboard for further systematic and comparative research in the field for years to come.
Law and Revolution by Nimer Sultany will give your brain an excellent summer workout. ... Seeking to unchain thinking patterns from social-political change, this is a must read for lawyers and politicians.
Nimer Sultany's book tells us just what we don't want to hear. He does so by taking a philosophical hammer to a range of central concepts in constitutional thought and practice ... Sultany tells us that settled understandings of concepts such as constituent power, legitimacy, revolution, and legality lie somewhere between innocent myth and devious distortion ... In a masterful study, Sultany dissects the theory of each of these ideas before illustrating how they fail to map onto the complex events in multiple nations during the Arab Spring. As a specimen of critical constitutional theory the book is first rate. As a study pulling the legal curtain back on constitutionally significant events during the Arab Spring, it is riveting. And as an in-depth book combining both of these things, it is incontestably in the front rank of constitutional scholarship.
This is a magisterial telling of the tale of legal political ideas in the tragedy of the countries of the Arab Spring. Sultany makes us see country by country that popular sovereignty, constitutionalism, constituent power, the rule of law, judicial independence, and many more, were abstractions that couldn't deliver what they promised in the way of guidance, normative judgment, or even clear meaning. For all its sadness, this is a brilliant account, full of lessons for a next time sure to come.
This study foregrounds Arab Spring experiences to reconsider theories on legitimacy, revolution, legality, and constitutionalism in an examination of the role of law and constitutions. It is a pleasure to read an account that offers so much empirically-grounded theoretical insight from experiences in Arab states by way of correction to, or development of, existing mainstream scholarship in these areas.
Drawing on a wide range of political and constitutional thought, Nimer Sultany uses "laws deeply ingrained incoherence" as a probe to destabilize familiar dichotomies - such as reform/revolution and continuity/disruption - in theorizing about constitutions, revolutions, and legitimacy. His case studies of Egypt, Tunisia, and other nations caught up in the Arab Spring confirm his perspective's contribution to constitutional theory.
