Paradoxes of transconstitutionalism in Latin America

Marcelo Neves

AI-generated Abstract

This collection highlights the dynamic nature of constitutions within the realm of transnational constitutionalism, emphasizing their role in promoting pluralism and innovation rather than merely serving as an instrument of unity and stability. It employs a socio-legal perspective to analyze the concept of constitution through Luhmann's General Systems Theory, contributing to a richer understanding of its institutionalized and functional dimensions. The discussions are essential for scholars in sociology of law, sociology of politics, and comparative public law.
