Produktbeschreibung

Courts in Latin America are increasingly asserting a stronger role in public and political discussions. This casebook takes account of this phenomenon by offering a rigorous and up-to-date discussion of constitutional adjudication in Latin America in recent decades. The volume highlights a host of creative arguments and solutions that judges in the region have offered and reviews and discusses innovative case law in light of the countries' social, political and legal contexts.

Rezensionen

'By bringing to the attention of a wider audience important aspects of Latin American constitutionalism, and especially through its description of important decisions by Latin American constitutional courts, this valuable work will significantly enrich the field of comparative constitutional law. I have already benefited from reading it, and I am sure that many other colleagues will as well.'

Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School, USA

'This volume will enable all those who are interested in comparative constitutional law and politics to learn in a systematic way about Latin-American approaches to key issues in contemporary constitutional law. It is unrivalled in its usefulness to this field.'
