To what extent can constitutional jurisdiction collaborate in the consolidation of democratic resilience, in scenarios of the erosion of the Constitutional and Conventional Rule of Law, and of deficits in the institutional quality of States, thus acting as agents of social transformation for the overcoming of structural discrimination and the inclusion of vulnerable groups?

This workshop invites attendees from all regions to present abstracts with a view to offering diverse comparative proposals regarding the challenges facing constitutional jurisdiction in scenarios of democratic weakening and damage to institutional quality in the Rule of Law. Particular focus is placed on the development, within its orbit, of transformative proposals that identify it as an agent of impact in democratic consolidation and resilience, as well as its performance as an agent of social transformation for the overcoming of structural discrimination and the inclusion of groups in situations of vulnerability.
