Pandemocracy in Latin America
This book addresses two questions: firstly, how has the fight against COVID-19, especially the individual and collective responses of Latin American nation-states, influenced the relationship between power, people, and statebodies? And secondly, has democracy taken a step back and allowed pandemocracy to replace its long-term legitimising function? Adopting a Global South perspective, the book explores the constitutional, political and institutional measures that paved the way for several aggressive state policies in various Latin American countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The contributions provide a detailed review of democratic decay and the 'rule of law' impairment in many countries...
Populist Challenges to Constitutional Interpretation in Europe and Beyond
This book explores the relationship between populism or populist regimes and constitutional interpretation used in those regimes. The volume discusses the question of whether contemporary populist governments and movements have developed, or encouraged new and specific constitutional theories, doctrines and methods of interpretation, or whether their constitutional and other high courts continue to use the old, traditional interpretative tools in constitutional adjudication. The book is divided into four parts. Part I contains three chapters elaborating the theoretical basis for the discussion. Part II examines the topic from a comparative perspective, representing those European countries w...
Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Governance in Federal Countries
Comparative studies examine the constitutional design and actual operation of governments in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, India, Nigeria, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States. Contributors analyze the structures and workings of legislative, executive, and judicial institutions in each sphere of government. They also explore how the federal nature of the polity affects those institutions and how the institutions in turn affect federalism. The book concludes with reflections on possible future trends.
Comparative Election Law
This timely research handbook offers a systematic and comprehensive examination of the election laws of democratic nations. Through a study of a range of different regimes of election law, it illuminates the disparate choices that societies have made concerning the benefits they wish their democratic institutions to provide, the means by which such benefits are to be delivered, and the underlying values, commitments, and conceptions of democratic self-rule that inform these choices.

Discursos II
En este segundo libro de Discursos, se recogen distintas intervenciones públicas del académico Dr. Alfonso Santiago con motivo de su tarea como profesor y directivo universitario. La obra contiene más de treinta de esas presentaciones agrupadas en cuatro secciones: la primera es la más autobiográfica; la segunda recoge distintas semblanzas de juristas argentinos, que le correspondió realizar en diferentes ocasiones; en la tercera figuran algunos discursos que pronunció como director de la Escuela de Política, Gobierno y Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Austral; y, finalmente, la cuarta reúne presentaciones que realizó fuera de ese ámbito universitario, en instituciones públicas y privadas. El libro trata temas muy diversos, todos vinculados con el Derecho, en particular, con el Derecho constitucional.
COVID-19 y su circunstancia. Una visión jurídica plural de la pandemia. Vol. V. Reflexiones comparadas
La obra COVID-19 y su circunstancia. Una visión jurídica plural de la pandemia, volumen V. Reflexiones comparadas, reúne un total de siete artículos y ocho autores/as, los cuales abordan y, por ende, nos permiten visualizar el impacto de la pandemia desde la perspectiva de diferentes países de Latinoamérica, tales como Argentina, Colombia, Panamá, Paraguay, Uruguay, así como Francia. De todos es sabido que el mundo jamás enfrentó una pandemia simultánea a nivel global como la que nos trajo el virus SARS-CoV-2. Y así es, ésta es una de las pautas que más caracteriza la situación creada por la enfermedad de COVID-19, a la cual se le agrega una falta de preparación para afrontar la misma, con efectos económicos, sociales, políticos y, por supuesto, de salud. Precisamente como una mano extendida que ofrece apoyo, presentamos una colección de cinco volúmenes que busca hacer eco de los problemas más acuciantes y solidarizarse con los más desfavorecidos, porque el mundo cambió y no necesariamente para mejor.
Temas para repensar la Constitución de 1993
Francisco Eguiguren Praeli es uno de los constitucionalistas más importantes de las últimas décadas. Su trayectoria académica y profesional dan claro testimonio de su compromiso con los valores constitucionales, y su quehacer en la docencia ha inspirado a distintas generaciones al estudio del derecho constitucional y sus diversas instituciones. La presente obra es un homenaje a esta trayectoria, y reúne una serie de trabajos de destacados autores nacionales e internacionales sobre cuestiones relevantes y actuales en materia constitucional. Coincide este homenaje, además, con los treinta años de vigencia de la Constitución Política de 1993, lo que hace aún más necesario el análisis de las instituciones contenidas en ella, especialmente en el contexto de crisis política de los últimos años, la cual ha traído consigo el debate sobre la necesidad de su reforma —parcial o total— en aspectos centrales, de cara a tener un texto que garantice la subsistencia de las bases institucionales democráticas y la garantía de los derechos fundamentales de las personas.
Anthropology and Climate Change
In this third edition of Anthropology and Climate Change, Susan Crate and Mark Nuttall offer a collection of chapters that examine how anthropologists work on climate change issues with their collaborators, both in academic research and practicing contexts, and discuss new developments in contributions to policy and adaptation at different scales. Building on the first edition’s pioneering focus on anthropology’s burgeoning contribution to climate change research, policy, and action, as well as the second edition’s focus on transformations and new directions for anthropological work on climate change, this new edition reveals the extent to which anthropologists’ contributions are con...
