State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1
This book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success.

História Constitucional Brasileira
A presente coletânea busca trazer ao público a riqueza dos elementos que conformam a rica história do constitucionalismo brasileiro, reunindo visões e interpretações muito diversas entre si sobre os desafios, dilemas e paradoxos da experiência constitucional nacional. Com as comemorações do 200 anos de independência do Brasil, impõe-se a necessidade de revisitar os infidáveis temas que cercam a experiência de desenvolvimento nacional. Não se trata de uma tarefa fácil, e as lacunas são evidentes no plano da historiografia jurídica. Tem-se aqui, pois, uma singela contribuição no sentido de angariar esforços para auxiliar na compreensão dos problemas e das idiossincrasias do Brasil, buscando-se repensar suas instituições, tradições e seus conceitos.
