In this paper we aim to contribute to the debate on successful enforcement of constitutional rules and its determinants by extending the focus to the phenomenon of constitutional overperformance, which arises when countries that do not include certain de jure rights in their constitutions, nevertheless de facto observe them. Firstly, we provide evidence that constitutional overperformance is a common phenomenon around the globe and it demonstrates high variation. Secondly, we identify factors which contribute to it. In particular, more constitutional overperformance is found in countries with older and less comprehensive constitutions, a high degree of democratization and a more robust civil society, plagued by less political conflict. Spatial interdependence effects are also identified confirming the diffusion of constitutional overperformance between countries. We base the conclusions on an empirical study conducted for a global sample of more than 100 countries.

在本文中，我们旨在通过将焦点扩展到宪法超额执行现象，从而为关于成功执行宪法规则及其决定因素的辩论做出贡献。他们。首先，我们提供的证据表明，宪法超额执行是全球普遍的现象，并且表现出很大的差异。其次，我们确定促成它的因素。尤其是在宪法较旧且不那么全面、民主化程度高、公民社会更加健全、政治冲突较少的国家，宪法表现更为突出。还确定了空间相互依存效应，证实了国家之间宪法超额绩效的扩散。我们的结论基于对 100 多个国家的全球样本进行的实证研究。
