Book Synopsis
In 2005, Iraq drafted its first constitution and held the country's first democratic election in more than fifty years. The author argues that the terms of the Iraqi Constitution are sufficiently capacious to be interpreted in a variety of ways, allowing it to appeal to the country's three main sects despite their deep disagreements.

Trade Review
"A rich account of constitutional politics in Iraq informed by the author's firsthand knowledge of the major events. In contrast with the view that emphasizes the United States as the dominant actor in shaping and implementing the Iraqi Constitution, Haider Ala Hamoudi gives emphasis to local agency, arguing persuasively that the Constitution was adapted to meet local needs." (Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago)"
