Introdutcion [Comparative Latin American Constitutionalism]

This volume focuses on classic public law issues to gain insight into recent constitutional innovations in Latin America. Moreover, it is the result of a basic and precise methodological choice. In fact, we decided to go beyond the limits of simply studying foreign law to fully embrace a comparative approach. An obvious result is that we observe Latin American legal facts – that is, forms and types of state, presidentialism and constitutional justice – not merely as national events.
