Why read it?
1 author picked Latin American Constitutionalism,1810-2010 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Roberto Gargarella is one such, and he has succeeded in turning the apparently dry topic of constitutionalism into the key to explaining the central paradoxes of Latin American democratic development.

From Joe's list on democracy in Latin America.
