Constitutional Reasoning in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Critical Analysis
We are pleased to introduce you the chapter written by our fellow Andrea Castagnola and her colleagues in the book “Constitutional Reasoning in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Critical Analysis”.
This chapter analyzes the constitutional reasoning of the Argentine Supreme Court, focusing on its institutional, historical, and legal contexts. Argentina offers a unique study due to its combination of an institutional framework inspired by the U.S. Constitution, substantive law influenced by Continental Europe, and a tumultuous history marked by military coups, political instability, and human rights abuses. The Supreme Court has played a significant role in shaping the nation’s judicial and political landscapes, particularly through its adoption of judicial review.
