Este es un número especial de la revista Constellations co-editado conjuntamente con Victoria Crespo. Cuenta con una introducción mía y siete artículos. This Constellations special section (Special Section: Democratic Consolidation and Constitution-Making in Latin America) tries to clarify two sets of concerns, that of the path from authoritarian regimes to democratic ones and that of the models of democracy at stake?are intimately related. The democratic interrogation thus resonates: What should the relation between the constituting and the constituent dimensions of democratic life be and how that dynamic manifests itself in contemporary Latin American democracies?  Is the populist claim of a primacy of democratic equality over liberal procedural principles one to be taken seriously at the normative level or is it just a means of justifying the arbitrary use of political authority?Incluí aquí esta sección especial, co-editada junto con María Victoria Crespo (ver lista de autores) en Constellations porque no puede hacerlo en la parte de libros, ya que lleva ISSN y no ISBN. Adjunto mi introducción y la carta de aceptación de parte de la revista.
