          Abstract

          Resumen: Este artículo estudia la evolución del constitucionalismo latinoamericano desde sus orígenes, prestando particular atención a la última oleada de reformas constitucionales que tuvo lugar hacia finales del siglo XX y que diera lugar al llamado “nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano”. El texto llama la atención sobre las profundas continuidades existentes entre este “nuevo” constitucionalismo y el más tradicional y arcaico -“viejo”- constitucionalismo regional, tanto en lo relativo a la organización de los derechos, como en lo vinculado con el diseño institucional predominante. El artículo sostiene, en particular, que la organización del poder que todavía hoy predomina en una mayoría de constituciones de la región sigue estando definida por los rasgos elitistas y autoritarios propios del momento liberal-conservador que rigiera en América Latina entre los años 1850 y 1890.

          Summary: This article studies the evolution of Latin American constitutionalism from its origins, paying particular attention to the last wave of constitutional reforms that took place towards the end of the 20th century and that gave rise to the so-called “new Latin American constitutionalism”. The text draws attention to the deep continuities between this “new” constitutionalism and the more traditional and archaic - “old”- regional constitutionalism, regarding the organization of rights, as well as the predominant institutional design. The article argues, in particular, that the organization of power that still predominates in a majority of constitutions in the region continues to be defined by the elitist and authoritarian features of the liberal-conservative period that prevailed in Latin America between the years 1850 and 1890.
