This publication is a timely and careful response to some of the opportunities and challenges that Zimbabwe is currently facing. The contributions are an outflow from the conference held in March 2015 in Harare, entitled "Assessing Progress in the Implementation of Zimbabwe's New Constitution: National, Regional and Global Perspectives." Also by drawing from comparative perspectives, the contributors, who include policy-makers, members of the judiciary, and constitutional law experts, both Zimbabwean and international, reflect among others on the challenge of constitutional alignment, the role of the civil and security services in a constitutional democracy and the role of institutions such as independent commissions and related institutions in entrenching a democratic culture and the rule of law. This publication aims to foster an open intellectual and legal dialogue on Zimbabwe's new Constitution and what it means in daily practice for the people of Zimbabwe.
