Egypt’s transition: Prospects for Constitutional Reforms, Democracy Reporting International - 2012

This briefing paper, issued by Democracy Reporting International, examines the different constitutional scenarios, currently under discussion in Egypt. It argues that while there are understandable reasons for a “quick-fix” constitutional reform, such a “quick-fix” would be a missed opportunity for deep reforms. In line with this argument, it indicates options on how to combine a quick reform process to prepare for presidential elections with more long-term constitutional reforms.
