Constitutionalism and Dictatorship
It is widely believed that autocratic regimes cannot limit their power through institutions of their own making. This book presents a surprising challenge to this view. It demonstrates that the Chilean armed forces were constrained by institutions of their own design. Based on extensive documentation of military decision-making, much of it long classified and unavailable, this book reconstructs the politics of institutions within the recent Chilean dictatorship (1973–1990). It examines the structuring of institutions at the apex of the military junta, the relationship of military rule with the prior constitution, the intra-military conflicts that led to the promulgation of the 1980 constitution, the logic of institutions contained in the new constitution, and how the constitution constrained the military junta after it went into force in 1981. This provocative account reveals the standard account of the dictatorship as a personalist regime with power concentrated in Pinochet to be grossly inaccurate.

The Chilean Senate
Weston Agor’s carefully documented analysis of the organization and workings of the Chilean Senate is the first of its kind and fills a long-standing need in the comparative study of the internal structure of legislative bodies.

He also analyzes in detail relevant documents, committee reports, and floor debates. Focused primarily on the formal decision-making structure within the Senate and on internal norms, both formal and informal, that hold that structure together, Agor’s stu...

La tradición constitucional en la UC
En medio del debate nacional sobre el cambio de la Constitución ha surgido con fuerza la noción de tradición constitucional chilena como parámetro de evaluación del proceso, pero los conceptos ligados a esta tradición han sido poco estudiados desde el constitucionalismo nacional y su contenido es objeto de continua controversia. ¿Cuál es el contexto político-cultural que marca los orígenes y forja los pilares fundamentales de una tradición constitucional específica, determinando su rumbo y desarrollo posterior? ¿Cuáles son las peculiaridades de esta tradición, sus valores, principios e instituciones? ¿Qué define la estructura y le da coherencia interna, distinguiéndola de o...
La Tradición Constitucional de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
En medio del reciente debate sobre el cambio de la Constitución de nuestro país, que ha cobrado especial intensidad con la reforma constitucional habilitante de un procedimiento para elaborar una nueva Constitución a fines de 2019, vuelve a surgir con fuerza la noción de tradición constitucional chilena como parámetro de evaluación del proceso constituyente. En el primer volumen de esta investigación, el destacado constitucionalista José Francisco García desarrolló el marco conceptual para estudiar la idea de tradición constitucional, el caso chileno y, de manera específica, el aporte de la tradición constitucional de la Facultad de Derecho de la Pontificia Universidad Católic...
