Summary
This book explores and critically assesses how proportionality analysis has been understood and used in Latin America over the course of three decades of democratic life. As the different contributions foreground, proportionality has indeed become a key organizing concept in the constitutional law of a region where constitutions with openly transformative aims coexist with appalling degrees of social inequality.
