The International IDEA Annual Review of Constitution-Building examines global constitutional reform efforts around the world. The 2024 review covers cases from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities facing democratic constitutionalism today. Topics include proactive constitutional resilience in Germany, Norway and Sweden; gender and constitutionalism in Barbados and Ghana; adversarial politics in Fiji, Guyana and Jamaica; reforms affecting the independence of the prosecution service; constitutional debates over family, gender and EU integration; constitution making in exile in Belarus and Myanmar; and the extension of transitional governments in Burkina Faso and South Sudan. While the global picture remains troubling, the report identifies signs of hope in inclusive reform processes, proactive strengthening of vulnerabilities in democratic safeguards, and the efforts of exiled democratic actors to shape future transitions.
