• Resumen

  • This Afterword is a response to Sergio Verdugo’s Foreword. It provides a defense of the notion of constituent power as a necessary element of the constitutional imaginary and ineradicable dimension of any credible account of democratic constitutionalism. It takes issue with what Verdugo identifies as the ‘conventional’ approach to constituent power, and argues that the collapse of constituent power into constituted power comes, philosophically and politically, at a significant cost. It concludes with a discussion of the recent irruption of constituent power in the constitutional situation in Chile.
