First, the early development of a constitutional state, toward the mid-nineteenth century, in a region then plagued with state-formation problems, civil war, and authoritarian regimes. Second, the irruption of a military dictatorship that lasted seventeen years (1973-1990) in a country that had achieved a decades-old constitutional democracy. And third, the persistent lack of legitimacy of the Constitution of 1980, after more than a quarter of a century during which it governed what was generally considered to be a successful transition to democracy, following the dictatorial regime of General Augusto Pinochet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781849465366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40735868682446,"sku":"9781849465366","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_64a7a935-d7d4-4e96-a412-550b78084915.jpg?v=1641274696","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781849465366","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
