Institutionalisation of Political Parties
This edited collection builds directly upon the recently published book by Harmel, Svåsand, and Mjelde (Institutionalisation (and De-Institutionalisation) of Right-Wing Protest Parties: The Progress Parties in Denmark and Norway) and applies their conceptual framework to a wide range of additional cases. Employing a common conceptual framework throughout, the chapters cover a broad range of cases and make important contributions toward building theories on why some parties succeed in institutionalising while others fail. The book is primarily about the status some parties achieve as an 'institution', the means by which parties may acquire that status, and some of the obstacles that stand in their way.
Constitutional Law in Argentina
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in Argentina provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence,...
Comparative Federalism and Covid-19
This comprehensive scholarly book on comparative federalism and the Covid-19 pandemic is written by some of the world’s leading federal scholars and national experts. The Covid-19 pandemic presented an unprecedented emergency for countries worldwide, including all those with a federal or hybrid-federal system of government, which account for more than 40 per cent of the world’s population. With case studies from 19 federal countries, this book explores the core elements of federalism that came to the fore in combatting the pandemic: the division of responsibilities (disaster management, health care, social welfare, and education), the need for centralisation, and intergovernmental relati...
Democracia, estado de derecho y derechos humanos en América Latina
Debo señalar que la pluralidad de temas tratados en esta obra tienen sobrada entidad y requieren de la atención de la doctrina constitucional. La Carta Democrática Interamericana parecía que abría un momento de consolidación democrática en América Latina después de los turbulentos años 80 y 90 y sobre todo una vez superadas las diversas y dramáticas experiencias autoritarias que sufrió la región. Sin embargo, la situación se ha ido deteriorando progresivamente sobre todo a partir del inicio del segundo decenio del siglo XXI. Debo señalar que, lamentablemente, no se trata de un fenómeno solo predicable de América Latina, sino que también afecta a otras zonas del planeta que parecían que gozaban de mayor estabilidad democrática y de respeto institucional. Por todo ello, un análisis plural, tanto desde la perspectiva nacional como temática, como el que se hace en este conjunto de trabajos impulsados por el profesor Altavilla, nos permite ver la profundidad del deterioro que más arriba he expuesto muy sucintamente.

Derechos fundamentales y pospandemia
La pandemia producida por el COVID-19 generó un fuerte impacto en las instituciones y normas que regulan el Estado; se trata de una situación sin precedentes en la historia de la humanidad. El objetivo de esta obra es indagar y analizar los diferentes impactos y efectos que tuvo la pandemia y las respuestas normativas sancionadas para contrarrestarla, desde múltiples miradas y perspectivas, abarcando aspectos que hacen a la división de poderes y funcionamiento de los poderes del estado, las garantías constitucionales, el medio ambiente, el federalismo y la coordinación intergubernamental, los diferentes aspectos sociales de la pandemia y finalmente, sus implicancias en el plano del derecho penal. Todos estos aspectos son abordados en sucesivos capítulos compuestos por trabajos de expertos y reconocidos juristas de Argentina que con sus aportes y análisis buscan soluciones y alternativas a este complejo e inédito escenario.
