Abstract: This study offers a thorough analysis of academic literature exploring the significance of citizens’ attitudes toward constitutional reform. It employs a combined approach, utilizing both bibliometric and systematic literature review methods. The study examines 377 journal articles published between 1994 and 2024. This timeframe captures emerging trends and advancements within the field. The analysis identifies influential articles, journals, authors, and countries contributing to this area of research. In addition, it highlights key thematic clusters that have emerged from the research, including popular protests, elite coordination, bureaucratic capacity, democratic legitimacy, and citizen engagement in transitional democracies. The study then discusses insights from noteworthy contributions within each cluster, along with potential areas for future research and opportunities for further studies. This work represents the first attempt to integrate bibliometric and systematic literature review methods, offering a holistic perspective on the scholarly discourse surrounding the relevance of citizens’ attitudes toward constitutional reform.
