Presentation

Comparative Constitutional Law, by allowing access to a dimension that is both inclusive and differentiating of the various constitutional regimes in the region, has recently taken on a prominent role and undergone a rethinking, becoming not only a useful but indispensable tool for Latin American legal practitioners.

Much is learned about constitutional law by engaging in dialogue between constitutional texts, jurisprudence, practice, and doctrine from different countries. This approach reveals multiple perspectives and innovative proposals aimed at strengthening constitutional systems and providing them with the firmness and flexibility required to address the diverse conflicts that arise.

That is why comparative methodology, the specific object on which this study program has been designed, is an instrument that provides indispensable perspectives in the comprehension, understanding and development of each particular constitutional system, in light of the experience and evolution of the others, and their reciprocal impact.

The contributions of comparative constitutional law are especially relevant in Latin America, where shared experiences are enriched by common historical and cultural nuances, and by the influence of the regional human rights order. The unique richness of constitutionalism in the region, as well as the shared nature of many of the tensions it faces, makes it worthy of such special attention. Even within Latin America, comparing the constitutional experiences of other countries allows us to envision the construction of a “common Latin American constitutional law,” as well as the specific nuances characteristic of each particular legal system.

Furthermore, the study of comparative Latin American law is essential in the current context of globalization, where supranational regimes wield significant influence. The tools provided by this discipline offer a comprehensive view of the impact of regional and universal human rights orders on domestic constitutional systems, and allow for an understanding of their effective interaction.

Based on these premises, the Diploma in Latin American Constitutional Law focuses on understanding the constitutional systems of the region's countries, in light of comparative experiences and their current dynamics. The program delves into the study of various Latin American supreme laws, examining their theoretical dimension but primarily their practical application. Finally, it emphasizes the impact of globalization and the proliferation of legal sources on these systems within a framework where constitutional order, universal and regional human rights protection systems, and integration regimes coexist.

Course format

The program will be delivered virtually, based on 16 weekly blocks of 6 hs. Each session takes place on Friday afternoons (from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM Argentina time) during August, September, October, and November. This totals 96 synchronous virtual hours, supplemented by 24 asynchronous hours. An in-person “International Week of Latin American Constitutional Law” is also planned in Buenos Aires. In 2023, it will run from August 4 to November 24.

Objectives

to deepen the technical and critical assessment of the limits and possibilities of comparative analysis of constitutional systems and their methods of legal comparison, in particular the transplantation of institutions, among others;
to identify the common elements, as well as the differentiating ones, in the scenario of comparative Latin American constitutional law.
to verify the projections of a common Latin American constitutional right, characteristics and limits.
Develop skills for the critical analysis of the impact of jurisprudential dialogue on regional integration systems and supranational jurisdiction for the protection of human rights, and its interaction with constitutional jurisdiction.
