Latin American Constitutions provides a comprehensive historical study of constitutionalism in Latin America from the independence period to the present, focusing on the Constitution of Cádiz, a foundational document in Latin American constitutionalism. Although drafted in Spain, it was applied in many regions of Latin America, and deputies from America formed a significant part of the drafting body. The politicization of constitutionalism reflected in Latin America's first moments proved to be a lasting legacy evident in the legal and constitutional world of the region today: many of Latin America's present challenges to establishing effective constitutionalism can be traced to the debates, ideas, structures, and assumptions of this text. This book explores the region's attempts to create effective constitutional texts and regimes in light of an established practice of linking constitutions to political goals and places important constitutional thinkers and regional constitutions, such as the Mexican Constitution of 1917, into their legal and historical context.
La presente obra se centra en algunas de las inquietudes y preocupaciones intelectuales en el pensamiento jurídico de Jorge Douglas Price, esto es, la "decisión judicial", la "filosofía" y la "sociología del derecho". Esto es lo que nos llevó a darle un nombre a la obra: Jerarquías enredadas. Vínculos, límites y paradojas del derecho y de la decisión Judicial. De este modo, en la presente obra hemos condensado ideas, pensamientos, experiencias teóricas y reflexiones en torno a tales temáticas que son los intereses teóricos de Jorge Eduardo Douglas Price y que sus amigos compartimos con él. Las reflexiones que aquí se desarrollan no utilizan las clásicas descripciones del derecho, de sus semánticas, de las formas en que, generalmente los juristas, nos hacemos representaciones de la realidad. Aquí mostramos las paradojas, la incertidumbre, la contingencia, la artificialidad y la ausencia de verdad en el derecho y en lo específico en la decisión judicial. Es decir, este libro pretende generar otras descripciones, otras alternativas de observación.

En este libro, el lector puede mirar el mundo “real” a través de la imaginación y entender los fenómenos relacionados con las ciencias penales desde la apreciación del arte.

The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Latin America provides a unique, comprehensive, and critical overview of Latin American studies in the nineteenth century, including the major regions and subfields. The essays in this collection offer a complex, yet accessible transdisciplinary overview of the heterogeneous and asynchronous historical, political, and cultural processes that account for the becoming of Latin America in the nineteenth century—from Mexico and the Caribbean Basin to the Southern Cone. The thematic division of the book into six parts allows for a better understanding of the ways in which different themes are interrelated and affords readers the opp...
