Over the past two years I have been working with my friends Catarina Santos Botelho and Carlos Bernal to develop a new book series on “Constitutionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean.” We now have three outstanding books in the series.

Now in its second year, the IRCR is made available for free thanks to the generosity of the Constitutional Studies Program at the University of Texas at Austin in partnership with the International Forum on the Future of Constitutionalism.
