Johanna Fröhlich will discuss the anthology she edited, Constitutional Reasoning in Latin America and the Caribbean (September 2024, Bloomsbury ). The volume examines the reasoning practice of 15 constitutional courts and supreme courts, including the Caribbean Commonwealth and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Based on original data and a region-specific methodology, the book provides a systematic analysis of those interpretive methods and concepts that are most favored by Latin American courts, traces the features of judicial dialogue, and attempts to identify current tendencies.
