La Constitución de la Tierra, según Luigi Ferrajoli: un análisis desde el constitucionalismo latinoamericano
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The central objective of this research is to assess how Latin American constitutionalism —particularly the Ecuadorian and Bolivian models— has anticipated, in normative practice, by recognizing in its fundamental Charters innovations that the jurist Luigi Ferrajoli proposes theoretically in his work Por una Constitución de la Tierra (2022), such as the rights of nature, legal pluralism, and certain wide-ranging guarantee mechanisms. Methodologically, a qualitative, theoretical-doctrinal approach is developed using the hermeneutic method and the comparative analysis of constitutional and jurisprudential sources. As a result, it is evidenced that Latin America has generated advanced normative responses to global issues, thereby constituting a practical benchmark for contemporary constitutionalism. It is concluded that while Ferrajoli’s proposal is undoubtedly relevant, it must be complemented by a critical reading from the Global South to avoid a Eurocentric view, especially if progress is to be made toward a pluriversal constitutionalism.
