Professor David Fontana Meets with Arab Spring Leaders

In the several years since the Arab Spring revolutions of 2010 and 2011, Professor David Fontana has met with Middle Eastern and North African leaders from countries in the midst of drafting constitutions and transitioning to democracy. In these meetings, Professor Fontana helped address issues involved in the drafting process. Describing his work, Professor Fontana said, "There is no more important development in democratic constitutionalism in the new century than what is happening in the Arab Spring countries. Talking to people there about these issues has been a distinct honor and a great experience."
