Abstract This article examines the conceptual and historical relationship between constitutionalism and development. It argues that the communities that represent these two ideas have had little engagement, and yet there is a good deal of overlap between their areas of concern. Given that the Sustainable Development Goals 2015 have strongly embraced good governance, accountability and the rule of law, and we have become adept at defining and articulating the rule of law, the time seems ripe for development to engage with constitutionalism, and for constitutionalism to use “developmental operativity”, as I call it, to advance its objectives in practice.

宪政与发展：错位还是梦之队？

摘要本文考察了宪政与发展之间的概念和历史关系。它认为代表这两个想法的社区很少参与，但是他们关注的领域之间有很多重叠之处。鉴于《 2015年可持续发展目标》强烈拥护善治，问责制和法治，并且我们已经熟练地定义和阐明法治，因此发展参与宪政和运用宪政的时机似乎已经成熟我称之为“发展的可操作性”，以在实践中推进其目标。
