Boaventura de Sousa Santos – Can constitutionalism be transformative?

Advanced seminar, in Portuguese. University of Coimbra School of Economics, 25.05.2012.

Boaventura de Sousa Santos examines questions relating to transformative constitutionalism, interculturality and the reform of the state. The failure of modern constitutionalism is analysed in the light of struggles for self-determination and the recognition of cultural difference, both in terms of sub-national decentralisation and supra-national integration.
