Constitutionalism
This compilation of twenty essays gathers some of the most prominent authors in constitutionalism and legal theory to critically examine classical debates, such as the role of judicial review in a democracy, the enforcement of socio-economic rights, the doctrine of unconstitutional amendments, and the theory of transitional justice.
Through Thin and Thick
The book launches with examples, concrete cases, or political confrontations to explain how to conceive the safeguards at stake. It portrays these as embodying principles requiring particular actions and the implementation of policies. For instance, free speech demands permitting seemingly offensive expression plus promoting a diverse and open public debate. The work scrutinizes specific guaranties, such as those pertaining to asylum, citizenship, abortion, due process, self-determination, or the environment. It presents them as engendering problems peculiar to them. Next, the discussion dissects how precepts, like human rights and democracy, may contingently clash despite their overall commensurability. Finally, it underscores the interconnection of negative, substantive, and national entitlements with their positive, procedural, and international counterparts. Throughout, ruminations on the following questions unfold: How may courts and governments respectively contribute to actualizing the liberties at issue? How do these bear upon social justice? How may ideologically opposed states nonetheless collaborate on them?
Governmental Policies to Fight Pandemic
This book offers a wide comparative overview of the legal measures enacted by countries throughout the world to react to the unprecedented public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The volume gathers the General Reports and selected National Reports presented at the 2022 General Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law. While the National Reports focus on single countries, the General Report provides a comparative analysis of observed trends and main legal issues. In doing so, it draws some guidelines on how to improve responses to potential forthcoming emergencies characterized by a global reach, as COVID-19 was.
The Good Coup
Honduras is known as the classic "Banana Republic" - a characterization of a politically backward country ruled by a tiny wealthy class. The phrase was coined by the North American writer O. Henry in his book, Cabbages and Kings. It conveys the image of a nation plagued by military coup d'états... historically undeniable in the case of Honduras. The controversial overthrow of President Manuel Zelaya on June 28, 2009 represents a watershed in Honduran history. Was President Zelaya an innocent victim of the military and judicial systems, or did government officials act wisely in rescuing Honduras from a president intent on remaining in power indefinitely and dismantling the country's democrat...

Controle judicial difuso de constitucionalidade: origens, características, evolução e seu fortalecimento no sistema jurídico brasileiro
Em agosto de 2008, quando do julgamento da Medida Cautelar na ADC 18, afirmava o Pleno do STF, de forma categórica, que "O controle direto de constitucionalidade precede o controle difuso, não obstando o ajuizamento da ação direta o curso do julgamento do recurso extraordinário". Desde a promulgação da Constituição de 1988, vem-se anunciando a predominância e preferência do modelo concentrado de controle de constitucionalidade, colocando em xeque a própria razão de existir do tradicional modelo difuso. Qual não seria a surpresa quando, uma década depois, em agosto de 2018, viria o próprio STF a extinguir a mesma ADC 18, julgando-a prejudicada em razão de decisão proferida e...
La doble conformidad disconforme
Este libro aborda las alternativas de vigencia temporal del derecho a la impugnación de la primera sentencia condenatoria en el régimen de procedimiento penal colombiano. A tales efectos, en primer término valora los desarrollos del corpus iuris internacional de los derechos humanos en materia del derecho a la impugnación de la sentencia de condena. En segundo lugar, analiza la recepción de dichos instrumentos en los regímenes de procedimiento penal del derecho interno de Colombia, y enfatiza en los desarrollos jurisprudenciales de la doble conformidad. Con ese fundamento, el texto subraya la insuficiencia del statu quo de aplicación retroactiva del derecho a la impugnación. Por último, somete a examen diversas posibilidades de aplicación temporal, y concluye que el derecho a impugnar la primera sentencia condenatoria debe reconocerse en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano desde la fecha de promulgación de la Constitución Política de 1991.
