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.
Global Canons in an Age of Contestation
Comparative constitutionalism emerged in its current form against the backdrop of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. As that backdrop recedes into the past, it is being replaced by a more multi-polar and confusing world, and the current state of the discipline of comparative constitutionalism reflects this fragmentation and uncertainty. This has opened up space for new, more varied, and increasingly critical voices seeking to improve the project of democratic constitutionalism. But it also raises questions: What of the past, if anything, is worth preserving? Which more recent parts should be defining of the field? In this context, this book asks which are - or should be...
Comparative Constitutional History
While comparative constitutional law is a well-established field, less attention has been paid so far to the comparative dimension of constitutional history. The present volume, edited by Francesco Biagi, Justin O. Frosini and Jason Mazzone, aims to address this shortcoming by bringing focus to comparative constitutional history, which holds considerable promise for engaging and innovative work along several key avenues of inquiry. The essays contained in this volume focus on the origins and design of constitutional governments and the sources that have impacted the ways in which constitutional systems began and developed, the evolution of the principle of separation of powers among branches of government, as well as the origins, role and function of constitutional and supreme courts. Contributors: Mark Somos, Gohar Karapetian, Justin O. Frosini, Viktoriia Lapa, Miguel Manero de Lemos, Francesco Biagi, Catherine Andrews, Gonçalo de Almeida Ribeiro, Mario Alberto Cajas-Sarria, and Fabian Duessel.
Adjudicating Revolution
Lawyers usually describe a revolution as a change in a constitutional order not authorized by law. From this perspective, to speak of a ‘lawful’ or an ‘unlawful’ revolution would seem to involve a category mistake. However, since at least the 19th century, courts in many jurisdictions have had to adjudicate claims involving questions about the extent to which what is in fact a revolutionary change can result in the creation of a legally valid regime. In this book, the authors examine some of these judgments.
Gerencia de proyectos inmobiliarios. Una mirada desde la experiencia
Esta obra es resultado de la experiencia de Camilo Congote como coordinador y gerente de proyectos, empresario de la construcción y profesor universitario durante los últimos treinta y cinco años. Congote sabe que el gerente de proyectos es como el director de la orquesta, quien se apoya en su grupo de músicos para lograr una ejecución exitosa. Así, para enseñar los temas centrales del mundo de la construcción, ha reunido aportes de sus colegas, competidores y asesores en muchas de las materias que conforman la cadena de valor y la producción de inmuebles, consolidando en estos dos tomos una mirada enriquecida y profunda sobre la gerencia. Los aportes aquí reunidos llevarán al lector a conocer anécdotas, problemas y soluciones que se han presentado en el desarrollo de proyectos inmobiliarios y de empresas del sector, al tiempo que darán lugar a reflexiones y permitirán fortalecer conceptos clave en la formación de futuros gerentes.
Proportionality and Transformation
This is the first book on proportionality in Latin American constitutional law. Leading scholars in the region explore how proportionality analysis has become a key part of the constitutional law of a region where, almost paradoxically, constitutions with clear transformative intentions coexist with the highest indicators of social inequality in the world. In this book, scholars, practitioners and students will find a fascinating account of how proportionality has been a central concept in Latin America's constitutional struggles to curtail excessive uses of state power. The book illustrates how, more recently, proportionality has played an important role in national processes of constitutionalization and transitional justice, and how its current uses in the domain of social rights endow it with a distinctive meaning and role in regional constitutionalism. This pioneering book opens up the space for a much needed global conversation on how Latin America has decisively contributed to comparative constitutional law.

Eternity Clauses in Democratic Constitutionalism
Comparative constitutional law has a long and distinguished history in intellectual thought and in the construction at public law. Political actors and the people who create or modify their constitutional orders often wish to learn from the experience and learning of others. This cross-fertilization and mutual interaction has only accelerated with the onset of globalization, which has transformed the world into an interconnected web that facilitates dialogue and linkages across international and regional structures. Oxford Comparative Constitutionalism seeks to publish scholarship of the highest quality in constitutional law that deepens our knowledge of local, national, regional, and global phenomena through the lens of comparative public low.
