A New Constitution for Somalia

The Mogadishu-based The Heritage Institute for Policy Studies published in February 2017 a study titled "Somalia's Parliament Should Produce a Constitution by and for the People."

The paper argues that the new Somali parliament should address the issue of the constitution in consultation with civil society and the Somali public and not leave the process to Somali elites.

Decentralization Options for Somalia

The Mogadishu-based The Heritage Institute for Policy Studies published in January 2014 a brief analysis titled "Decentralization Options for Somalia" by Afyare Abdi Elmi, assistant professor of international politics at Qatar University.

The author looks at confederalism, federalism, consociationalism, and devolution.  He concludes that Somali consensus on the most appropriate type of decentralization is lacking and the ultimate solution will be unique to Somalia.
