Constitutional Transitions and Territorial Cleavages

This report examines the implications of territorially concentrated divided communities (minorities or otherwise) on constitution making through three inquiries: &nbsp(1) what factors will inform the mobilization of territorially-based interests (2) how might these interests impact the design of the constitution making process and (3) how might they impact the content of the constitution itself. &nbspThe report is extremely useful in analyzing the politics and dynamics of constitutional negotiation in territorially-based divided societies.
