Abstract

The present work begins by characterizing the thesis and the two sub-theses of the constitutionalist Roberto Gargarella on the New Constitutionalism in Latin America (NCL). Then we proceed to operationalize the two sub-theses as a test object, and then carry out the empirical description in seven cases from Latin America. Finally, we draw the conclusions by contrasting Gargarella's thesis and the theoretical and methodological horizon of research and constitutional reforms in Latin America.
