This chapter follows a comparative, historical, and sociologically informed approach. The chapter will start with a brief discussion of the role of constitutionalism in communist regimes. Subsequently, it will provide a narrative of how and why a legalistic form of constitutionalism emerged in the region from 1989 onwards, and what kinds of constitutional traditions were involved in this process. Finally, the chapter will explore whether traditions differing from liberal and legal constitutionalism have played a role in the transformation, exploring in particular democratic and communitarian approaches to constitutionalism.
