"The “people” are the ultimate source of authority for a constitution. But who are the people? The danger is that populist leaders will define the people as one segment of the population that is unbound by law to create a new constitution that centralizes power in the leader's hands. This book retells the story of popular constitution-making in South America to develop an alternative theory of the relationship of the people to law. Braver examines how and how not to violate law to construct an inclusive people so they may realize their freedom to break with the past but still stave off the establishment of semi-authoritarian constitutions. Through the “extraordinary adaptation” of old institutions, the people and its constitutional convention may include all parties. Rather than overthrowing old institutions and opening a legal void, in extraordinary adaptation, the revolutionary party gains offices through democratic elections and then repurposes the old regime's institutions by bending, reinterpreting, and even breaking their rules. However, it never creates a legal vacuum, and this partial legal continuity facilitates the participation of old parties that continue to hold some power in the previous constitution's institutions. The adaptation must be principled: the revolutionary must first exhaust all legal channels, openly acknowledge the violation to seek popular vindication, and concede enough to the opposition so that it may begrudgingly acquiesce to the new constitution. The book develops the theories of constitution-making by examining all four instances of popular constitution-making in contemporary South America. It shows how populist leaders in Venezuela and Ecuador established semi-authoritarian constitutions through lawless constitution-making while Colombia and Bolivia managed to avoid the same fate by engaging in extraordinary adaptation"-- Provided by publisher

How does the selection of judges influence the work they do in important constitutional courts? Does mixed judicial selection, which allows more players to choose judges, result in a court that is more independent and one that can check powerful executives and legislators? Existing literature on constitutional courts tends to focus on how judicial behaviour is motivated by judges' political preferences. Lydia Brashear Tiede argues for a new approach, showing that, under mixed selection, institutions choose different types of judges who represent different approaches to constitutional adjudication and thus have different propensities for striking down laws. Using empirical evidence from the constitutional courts of Chile and Colombia, this book develops a framework for understanding the factors, external and internal to courts, which lead individual judges, as well as the courts in which they work, to veto a law.

In this book Siu Lang Carrillo Yap compares the land and forest rights of Amazonian indigenous peoples from Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, and analyses these rights in the context of international law, property law theory, and forest and soil sciences. Within this scope and against the historical background, the recent interrelations between the Amazonian indigenous peoples' land, forest and community forest management rights and their importance for the self-determination of indigenous peoples in the Amazonian region are examined. Through bringing together international law with national law, natural resources law with property law and law with natural sciences, the author sheds new light on the complex topic of indigenous peoples' rights closely entwined with the conservation of the Amazonian rainforest.

"Con un enfoque democrático, transformador y emancipador del proceso de inclusión de los derechos de los grupos indígenas -tradicionalmente discriminados o invisibilizados durante la Modernidad-, este libro de Soraya Pérez Portilla se centra en el calor de la igualdad con un efoque democrático. El texto orienta al lector para comprender que los momentos constituyentes estudiados en sus páginas de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela en 1999, de la Reùblica de Ecuador en 2008 y de Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia en 2009, momentos legislativos refundados como plurinacionales e interculturales con una participación vigorosa de ñas comunidades ancestrales permitieron abrir espacios para que conceptos como pluriétnico y plurilingüismo pasara a ser principios fundamentales de la Carta Política de Colombia en 1991, permitiendo al mismo tiempo inaugurar escenarios para la representación indígena y de las comunidades ancestrales. Este libro nos dice del reconocimiento de la Otredad como principio para el diálogo que nos permitirá caminar juntos en la construcción de sociedades, justas y esenciales."-- Page 4 of cover
