Research topic: “Challenges of Reconciliatory Constitution-Making in Tunisia and Egypt: A Comparative Perspective”
Mahmoud Manar is a postdoctoral fellow at The Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations and The Harry S. Truman Institute for The Advancement of Peace. He holds a PhD in Political Science (Tel Aviv University, 2014) and an MA (with honors) in Political Science, majoring in Political Theory and Governance (University of Haifa, 2006). Dr. Manar’s research focuses on political analysis of constitution-making processes and reconciliation in conflicted societies. His PhD proposes a theoretical model called the “reconciliatory constitution-making process,” which examines the constitution making process and the circumstances in which the process of establishing a constitution can also lead to reconciliation between conflicted groups. The dissertation focused on comparative historical analysis of three cases: South Africa, Canada and Belgium. Dr. Manar’s present research will develop this model by examining its application to cases like Tunisia and Egypt.
