Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Reforma y desmembramiento constitucional, Richard Albert, aborda el problema que plantean las enmiendas que modifican los pilares estructurales de las constituciones. Se trata de reformas que, en lugar de introducir ajustes o modificaciones menores al texto constitucional, implican una transformación esencial del mismo. En ese sentido, solo desde una perspectiva formal pueden ser catalogadas como reformas. Pues, al fijar la atención en las repercusiones que ellas tienen sobre el funcionamiento del orden constitucional, se descubren como hitos fundacionales de la historia constitucional, a partir de los cuales es difícil reconocer un hilo de continuidad entre la carta original y el nuevo texto que resulta de la aprobación de estas reformas. Tales modificaciones reciben, en esta obra, el nombre de "desmembramientos constitucionales:' La teoría que aquí se ofrece sobre la reforma constitucional permite ahondar en nuestra comprensión de las enmiendas constitucionales y concebir nuevas ideas sobre la manera como debería ser empleada dicha facultad, teniendo en cuenta las exigencias del principio democrático.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reformas Constitucionales: Elaborar, romper y cambiar constituciones, ofrece una hoja de ruta para navegar en el universo intelectual de las reformas constitucionales, así como un plano para diseñar y mejorar las reglas de cambio constitucional. A la luz de docenas de constituciones de todas las regiones del mundo, este libro mezcla la teoría y la práctica con el fin de responder dos preguntas de la mayor importancia: ¿qué es una reforma? y ¿cómo deberían los arquitectos constitucionales estructurar los procedimientos de cambio constitucional? El primer interrogante es más importante ahora que en el pasado. Los reformadores explotan las reglas de reforma constitucional, ponen a prueba los límites jurídicos de la reforma, socavan las normas de gobernanza democrática y esquivan la constitución escrita para crear constituciones integralmente nuevas que se hacen pasar como simples reformas constitucionales ordinarias. La segunda pregunta es clave frente al desempeño y a la resiliencia de las constituciones. Los arqui-tectos constitucionales, hoy en día, no tienen casi que ningún recurso a la mano que pueda guiarlos al momento de construir las reglas de reforma constitucional, mientras que los académicos no tienen un pano-rama claro de la importancia de las reglas de reforma en el proyecto del constitucionalismo.

This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Caribbean Constitutions offers a detailed and analytical view of the constitutions of the Caribbean region, examining the constitutional development of its diverse countries. The Handbook explains the features of the region's constitutions and examines themes emerging from the Caribbean's experience with constitutional interpretation and reform.0Part I, 'Caribbean Constitutions in the World', highlights what is distinctive about the constitutions of the Caribbean. Part II covers the constitutions of the Caribbean in detail, offering a rich analysis of the constitutional history, design, controversies, and future challenges in each country or group of countries. Each chapter in this section addresses topics such as the impact of key historical and political events on the constitutional landscape for the jurisdiction, a systematic account of the interaction between the legislature and the executive, the civil service, the electoral system,0and the independence of the judiciary.0Part III addresses fundamental rights debates and developments in the region, including the death penalty and socio-economic rights. Finally, Part IV features critical reflections on the challenges and prospects for the region, including the work of the Caribbean Court of Justice and the future of constitutional reform.0This is the first book of its kind, bringing together in a single volume a comprehensive review of the constitutional development of the entire Caribbean region, from the Bahamas in the north to Guyana and Suriname in South America, and all the islands in between. While written in English, the book embraces the linguistic and cultural diversity of the region, and covers the Anglophone Caribbean as well as the Spanish-, French-, and Dutch-speaking Caribbean countries.
Download or read book Constitutional Amendments written by Richard Albert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutional Amendments: Making, Breaking, and Changing Constitutions is both a roadmap for navigating the intellectual universe of constitutional amendments and a blueprint for building and improving the rules of constitutional change. Drawing from dozens of constitutions in every region of the world, this book blends theory with practice to answer two all-important questions: what is an amendment and how should constitutional designers structure the procedures of constitutional change? The first matters now more than ever. Reformers are exploiting the rules of constitutional amendment, testing the limits of legal constraint, undermining the norms of democratic government, and flouting the constitution as written to create entirely new constitutions that masquerade as ordinary amendments. The second question is central to the performance and endurance of constitutions. Constitutional designers today have virtually no resources to guide them in constructing the rules of amendment, and scholars do not have a clear portrait of the significance of amendment rules in the project of constitutionalism. This book shows that no part of a constitution is more important than the procedures we use change it. Amendment rules open a window into the soul of a constitution, exposing its deepest vulnerabilities and revealing its greatest strengths. The codification of amendment rules often at the end of the text proves that last is not always least.

Download or read book An Unamendable Constitution written by Richard Albert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the subject of constitutional unamendability from comparative, doctrinal, empirical, historical, political and theoretical perspectives. It explores and evaluates the legitimacy of unamendability in the various forms that exist in constitutional democracies. Modern constitutionalism has given rise to a paradox: can a constitutional amendment be unconstitutional? Today it is normatively contested but descriptively undeniable that a constitutional amendment—one that respects the formal procedures of textual alteration laid down in the constitutional text—may be invalidated for violating either a written or unwritten constitutional norm. This phenomenon of an unconstitutional constitutional amendment traces its political foundations to France and the United States, its doctrinal origins to Germany, and it has migrated in some form to all corners of the democratic world. One can trace this paradox to the concept of constitutional unamendability. Constitutional unamendability can be understood as a formally entrenched provision(s) or an informally entrenched norm that prohibits an alteration or violation of that provision or norm. An unamendable constitutional provision is impervious to formal amendment, even with supermajority or even unanimous agreement from the political actors whose consent is required to alter the constitutional text. Whether or not it is enforced, and also by whom, this prohibition raises fundamental questions implicating sovereignty, legitimacy, democracy and the rule of law.
Download or read book The Law and Legitimacy of Imposed Constitutions written by Richard Albert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutions are often seen as the product of the free will of a people exercising their constituent power. This, however, is not always the case, particularly when it comes to ‘imposed constitutions’. In recent years there has been renewed interest in the idea of imposition in constitutional design, but the literature does not yet provide a comprehensive resource to understand the meanings, causes and consequences of an imposed constitution. This volume examines the theoretical and practical questions emerging from what scholars have described as an imposed constitution. A diverse group of contributors interrogates the theory, forms and applications of imposed constitutions with the aim of refining our understanding of this variation on constitution-making. Divided into three parts, this book first considers the conceptualization of imposed constitutions, suggesting definitions, or corrections to the definition, of what exactly an imposed constitution is. The contributors then go on to explore the various ways in which constitutions are, and can be, imposed. The collection concludes by considering imposed constitutions that are currently in place in a number of polities worldwide, problematizing the consequences their imposition has caused. Cases are drawn from a broad range of countries with examples at both the national and supranational level. This book addresses some of the most important issues discussed in contemporary constitutional law: the relationship between constituent and constituted power, the source of constitutional legitimacy, the challenge of foreign and expert intervention and the role of comparative constitutional studies in constitution-making. The volume will be a valuable resource for those interested in the phenomenon of imposed constitutionalism as well as anyone interested in the current trends in the study of comparative constitutional law.

Download or read book Constitutionalism Under Extreme Conditions written by Richard Albert and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the problem of constitutional change in times of crisis. Divided into five main parts, it both explores and interrogates how public law manages change in periods of extraordinary pressure on the constitution. In Part I, “Emergency, Exception and Normalcy,” the contributors discuss the practices and methods that could be used to help legitimize the use of emergency powers without compromising the constitutional principles that were created during a period of normalcy. In Part II, “Terrorism and Warfare,” the contributors assess how constitutions are interpreted during times of war, focusing on the tension between individual rights and safety. Part III, “Public Health, Financial and Economic Crises,” considers how constitutions change in response to crises that are neither political in the conventional sense nor violent, which also complicates how we evaluate constitutional resilience in times of stress. Part IV, “Constitutionalism for Divided Societies,” then investigates the pressure on constitutions designed to govern diverse, multi-national populations, and how constitutional structures can facilitate stability and balance in these states. Part V, titled “Constitution-Making and Constitutional Change,” highlights how constitutions are transformed or created anew during periods of tension. The book concludes with a rich contextual discussion of the pressing challenges facing constitutions in moments of extreme pressure.

Download or read book Constitutional Change and Transformation in Latin America written by Richard Albert and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, Latin America has lived through an intense period of constitutional change. Some reforms have been limited in their design and impact, while others have been far-reaching transformations to basic structural features and fundamental rights. Scholars interested in the law and politics of constitutional change in Latin America are turning increasingly to comparative methodologies to expose the nature and scope of these changes, to uncover the motivations of political actors, to theorise how better to execute the procedures of constitutional reform, and to assess whether there should be any limitations on the power of constitutional amendment. In this collection, leading and emerging voices in Latin American constitutionalism explore the complexity of the vast topography of constitutional developments, experiments and perspectives in the region. This volume offers a deep understanding of modern constitutional change in Latin America and evaluates its implications for constitutionalism, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

Download or read book Founding Moments in Constitutionalism written by Richard Albert and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founding moments are landmark events that break ties with the ancien régime and lay the foundation for the establishment of a new constitutional order. They are often radically disruptive episodes in the life of a state. They reshape national law, reset political relationships, establish future power structures, and influence happenings in neighbouring countries. This edited collection brings together leading and emerging scholars to theorise the phenomenon of a founding moment. What is a founding moment? When does the 'founding' process begin and when does it end? Is a founding moment possible without yielding a new constitution? Can a founding moment lead to a partial or incomplete transformation? And should the state be guided by the intentions of those who orchestrated these momentous breaks from the past? Drawing from constitutions around the world, the authors ask these and other fundamental questions about making and remaking constitutions.
