Recenzje

'Mirow's work is a major contribution to the historiography of Latin American constitutionalism - a little-explored field - and is indispensable material for any study that focuses its attention on the constitutional history of Spain and Latin America.' Gisela Ferrari, translated from Rechtsgeschichte - Legal History
