CRUZ GUTIERREZ, David Fernando. Authoritarian Ghosts and Conceptual Clarifications: A Reflection on Roberto Gargarella's contributions to Strengthening Latin American Democratic Constitutionalism. Díkaion [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.1, pp.160-191.  Epub 27-Set-2021. ISSN 0120-8942.  https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2021.30.1.6.

Constitutionalism and authoritarianism are deemed opposed and irreconcil able. However, the authoritarian experience in Latin America and the world shows that this phenomenon uses constitutional narratives. Concerned with how to deal with this relationship, legal literature has expanded. This article argues that, despite this new literature, Roberto Gargarella's works provide valuable inputs for the region's democratic strengthening, which stem from recognizing the dynamics of Latin American constitutionalism, such as its counter-majority nature.

Palavras-chave : Roberto Gargarella; authoritarianism; constitutionalism; democracy; citizenship.
