The Colombian Constitution of 1991 as the Starting Point of a new Constitutionalism in Latin America

The objective of this article is to show that the Colombian Constitution of 1991 has certain traits that clearly differentiate it from Western constitutional tradition. Some of these traits would later be included in constitutional processes and constitutions in Venezuela (1999), Ecuador (1998 and 2008) and Bolivia (2009), in a process collectively known as Latin American Neo-Constitutionalism. This paper intends to demonstrate how the text of the Colombian Constitution represents a turning point that marks the beginning and establishes the foundations for the development of a home-grown constitutional form in Latin America over the last two decades.

The moral background of the political philosophers –The Nozick case–

 On the assumption that any complex Modern Political Theory involves a decision about human rights, this article considers a possible assessment of the broader aspects of the conception of the State in the work of Nozick.

Point of inflexion between the companies and the universities as opposed to the relation University, Company and State in Colombia

The Relation University, Company and State UEE defined through the eight committees created in Colombia to position the investigation like central axis of the triad one, impliesthe revision of the paper that in ahead must assume the companies and the universities for the success of the nexus. The scene raises the debt that both estates show as opposed to the definition of the subjects that in particular force them to work jointly within the triad one. The systemic methodology, drawn up under the epilogue of the order of the organizations, stipulates that these can work in unison or in key when they are understood like structure, and recognize what they do to each other. However, slope has left all a leaf of conciliations, understandings and repairs that they will have to be reviewed to the light of spirit UEE.

Development, resistance and change. A point of view from Río Negro’s steppe

In this paper we search the concept of nonviolent resistance inquiring a rural experience from Rio Negro´s steppe. The initiative highlights the need to recognize  the context of the resistance exercise and the consideration of three aspects: the evaluation and interpretation of space, the dispute to public policy and the  restructuring of the family order. These three elements, which overlap material  and symbolic aspects, are discussed from an organization of trade domestic craft production. The notion of “development” is discovered on the basis of the  frameworks of values from which the reproduction of subordination is associated  with this idea, and even the challenge of change is the basis of the proposal which reviews that development idea, and illuminates from this complexity the notion  of “nonviolent resistance”.

Hermenéutica jurídica de la competencia en Colombia : estudio de la Cláusula de Prohibición General del artículo 7 de la Ley 256 de 1996

La tesis tiene como objetivo central, desde un punto de vista crítico en el que se resalta la influencia de la política y del sistema económico en las decisiones judiciales, exponer la forma en que las autoridades judiciales y administrativas han interpretado las normas que regulan la competencia en Colombia, específicamente el caso del artículo 7 de la Ley 256 de 1996. Y preguntarse si dependiendo del método de interpretación que se acoge al momento de fallar se busca reforzar o no el modelo económico liberal, en especial la adopción de los argumentos que sustentan la decisión.

Contra los métodos en el Derecho Internacional: una crítica a partir de su contribución para la realización de la función social de la dogmática jurídica

Este artículo tiene como objetivo investigar la utilidad de los métodos para el cumplimiento de la función social de la dogmática jurídica. En este contexto, los métodos son presentados como instrumentos para formular respuestas más precisas en el ámbito de la práctica jurídica. Se intentará demostrar la imposibilidad ontológica de logro en esta tarea. Los métodos no pueden conferir más certidumbre a los argumentos dogmáticos. Para poder demostrarlo, a través de investigación bibliográfica, se expondrá el debate sobre el método en la actualidad de la academia jurídica internacional, para después dedicarse a un ejemplo que sirve de punto de partida para el análisis del problema: la indeterminación del contenido de la costumbre internacional. Con base en los métodos más conocidos, se investigan las respuestas que pueden ofrecer al problema práctico de la costumbre. El resultado es negativo, lo que comprueba la hipótesis inicial: hay que abandonar el sueño de un método teórico de modelo deductivo para dar certidumbre a la "ciencia" del Derecho.
