O Direito Constitucional Comparado entre renascimento e consolidação

Abstract

This paper has two main objectives. First, there is a critical analysis of the process of “rebirth” of comparative constitutional law. This revival takes place in the North-American legal literature as a direct result of constitutional law’s internationalization movement. Accordingly, this new reality imposes new perspectives in this field of Law. Our second objective is to understand how the current study of Comparative Constitutional Law is part of a theoretical framework which one of its main purposes is the instrumentalization of new proposals for political transformations in Western liberal democracies.
