Following a revolution or violent conflict, developing a new constitution, or reforming an existing one, is full of pitfalls and challenges. If lasting peace is the ultimate objective the process to get there can become as important as the content of the constitution itself. If you are a citizen wishing to engage, a civil society representative, a government representative, a national or international advisor, this handbook highlights key stages in the process. There is no one-size fits all approach, so the handbook includes what to keep in mind, which decisions are key, the potential positive and negative consequences of those decisions, as well as practical tips to navigate the delicate process.
