"The challenges of the rule of law in the 21st century"

The transformation of legal institutions, the emergence of new perspectives for the interpretation of norms and constitutions or the new power relations represent challenges for the Rule of Law in the 21st century. The objective of this Seminar is twofold. On the one hand, to analyze in the light of these transformations such fundamental issues as the separation of powers, control of the public administration, independence of the judiciary, the system of guarantees of social rights or the system of protection of fundamental principles . On the other, in a comparative perspective, to describe the process of development of the democracies of Brazil and Spain within the last 30 years in order to understand how the new social and economic phenomena and globalization will impact on the democracies of both countries.
