Rezensionen

"Héctor López Bofill's offers a powerful argument showing that all states and instances of true constitutional transformation (including those that have led to liberal constitutional orders), have at their origin episodes of violence and death. His book is a historically and theoretically informed analysis, traversing multiple jurisdictions, that directly challenges contemporary approaches to popular constitution-making".

Joel Colón-Ríos

"Supported on an astounding command of contemporary debates in constitutional and political theory, López Bofill reconstructs the origins of old and new constitutional democracies from an unsettling perspective. This is indeed a worthy read that will provide insight and food for thought to analysts of constitutional matters worldwide."

Francesca Maria Pou, ITAM (Mexico City)
