Voluntad política para un tiempo de reformas: Presupuestos previos para abordar una reforma constitucional
2019
The vast majority of Spaniards is in favor of a constitutional reform. Before the undertaking of this reform, there are some previous conditions that need to be granted: a rational debate on ideas; a reduction of the political and social tension; a common goodwill to reach a consensus; and some loyalty during negotiations. As many other scholars, the author agrees that instead of talking about a constitutional reform, it would be more adequate to talk about some constitutional reforms, that should be undertaken gradually. He also stresses that these reforms do not imply the opening of a new constituent process. In addition, he underlines the fact that the Catalan crisis should not be the tr…

2021
El Estado de Excepción es una figura jurídica excepcional, que el jefe de Estado decreta frente a situaciones cuya solución escapan la actuación ordinaria, como la pandemia por el COVID–19; en este contexto, el presidente constitucional del Ecuador en uso de sus atribuciones, promulgó el 16 de marzo del 2020, el Decreto No. 1017 de Estado de Excepción y posterior solicitud de prórroga.

La diversidad de proyectos políticos en el primer debate preconstitucional español: Canga Argüelles, Ribelles y Borrul en el contexto de la política …
2002
The decree by which the Cortes of 22 May 1809 were summoned by the Junta Suprema of the realm marked the beginning of a political debate of great intensity in Spain. Through this debate the different political positions and the various ideological profiles arising from the deep constitutional crisis of 1808 became gradually crystallised. This article approaches that debate from the regional perspective of one of the territories or provinces of the Bourbon monarchy—namely, the old Kingdom of Valencia— and by examining three figures relatively unknown to historians, José Canga Argüelles, Bartolomé Ribelles and Francisco Xavier Borrul. Through an analysis of their works we can identify the div…
Have the constitutions of the new latin american constitutionalism succeeded?
2018
Resumen Desde la decada de los noventa del siglo pasado, America Latina esta experimentando un ciclo de procesos constituyentes democraticos que suele conocerse en la doctrina como nuevo constitucionalismo. Decadas despues de su aprobacion, cabe analizar criticamente los efectos de esta corriente que buscaba mejorar la situacion social, democratizar la politica y transformar el Estado. El presente articulo de investigacion se plantea cuatro preguntas: 1. ?Las Constituciones han servido para mejorar las condiciones de bienestar de los ciudadanos?; 2. ?Se ha podido limitar el poder de los organos constituidos?; 3. ?Ha disminuido la desigualdad y la pobreza?; 4. ?Ha mejorado la situacion de lo…
Funzione ausiliaria della Corte dei conti e disfunzioni strutturali della decisione finanziaria nello stato di democrazia pluralista
2021
Lo scritto affronta il tema delle difficili relazioni fra vincoli di bilancio euro-nazionale, autonomia finanziaria degli enti territoriali e garanzia dei livelli essenziali delle prestazioni concernenti i diritti civili e sociali. Si tratteggia dunque l'evoluzione del quadro normativo in tema di controlli sui bilanci degli enti territoriali e giudizi di parificazione per mostrare come ciò abbia condotto all’attivazione del sistema di garanzie giurisdizionali della Costituzione. Si presenta poi il tema dell’ausiliarietà della Corte dei conti mirando a collocarlo oltre i rapporti fra organi costituzionali e ad individuare i limiti dei controlli sugli atti di natura finanziaria. Si prende dun…

Los derechos fundamentales como normas jurídicas materiales en la teoría de Robert Alexy
2011
RESUMEN. La teoría de los derechos fundamentales de Robert Alexy se fundamenta en un concepto material de norma jurídica que es de carácter doble. Por un lado, se define por los rasgos propios de los principios, en consonancia con la idea de argumentación correcta. Pero, por otro lado, sigue teniendo peso la validez jurídica de las normas que contienen derechos fundamentales, consideradas como reglas constitucionales. Tal y como se argumenta en el trabajo, esta ambigüedad de la teoría de la norma de Alexy permite distintos acercamientos, positivistas y no positivistas, que es signo de su riqueza teórica. ABSTRACT. The theory of the civil rights of Robert Alexy is based on a material concept…
How Does Dialogue Really Take Place in a Democratic Transition?
2015
Our aim in this paper is to examine and critically reflect the nature of the dialogic processes in the case of a national dialogue in a project of democracy construction. The case deals with development of a new democratic constitution subsequent to Tunisia's Arab Spring revolution of 2011, a process experienced and documented by the first author. We explore how dialogue did and did not take place in the constitutional process. Theoretical interest lies in the preconditions for dialogue, the fundamentals and functions of dialogue, and the questions of power and power asymmetries especially from the deliberative and emancipative perspectives. peerReviewed

Europe’s Path to Public Reason
2012
Chapter 7 highlights how addressing public issues publicly is a main target of European institutions, considering their commitment to the identification of shared values and the protection of rights. In consideration of this, it is reasonable to ask whether the “Public Reason” set forth by Rawls can be somehow applied to Europe’s current perspective, understanding it to be the ruling criterion governing public issues. A major obstacle is to be found in the anti-pluralistic attitude which is widespread across the European states. However, constitutionalism, which is nowadays widely rooted on a global scale, makes contemporary political communities to characterize by disagreement and by the n…
