- Understanding the rise of the regulatory state of the South (2012, background): “While not an important theme in this volume, it is relevant to note that other Southern contexts represent the opposite extreme, in having to deal with past or even present authoritarian legacies (Moustafa 2007; Badran 2012; Ozel 2012).”
- Constitutional Courts in Comparative Perspective: A Theoretical Assessment (2015, background): “In addition, a growing literature explores the role of constitutional courts in authoritarian and semiauthoritarian regimes (e.g., see Barros 2002, Helmke 2005, Hilbink 2007, Moustafa 2007, Ginsburg & Moustafa 2008, Trochev 2011).”
