This paper addresses the issue of the constitutional legitimacy of the Constitutional Court's decisions in the context of the jurisdictional disputes of the branches of government, with a special emphasis on the recent conflicts arising from the dissolution of the Congress of the Republic and the vacancy of the President of the Republic. The research analyzes the doctrine and jurisprudence regarding the grounds that legitimize the role of the Constitutional Court in the control of political acts and concludes that the defense of the principle of normative supremacy of the constitution imposes a substantive resolution in the competence processes of this nature.

This paper examines China-Latin America relations through the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in the 2011-2018 period. In this context, the main perspectives on integration and regionalism are discussed, and CELAC is shown to possess the characteristics of a regional body. It is proposed that the relationship China seeks through this body can be explained by its interest in institutionalising a mechanism for rapprochement with Latin America and the Caribbean. It is noted that CELAC is seen by China as a strategic vehicle that allows it to engage bilaterally with various countries and develop an economic strategy under structurally asymmetric conditions. However, its institutional nature has prevented it from serving these interests. As per the methodology, documentary and qualitative data analysis is made using the systematisation of an unpublished database. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Trump administration's foreign policy has generated significant debates in the field of US foreign policy studies. Using a methodology based on theoretical elements such as neoclassical realism and Foreign Policy Analysis, this paper seeks to unravel the foundations of his administration's foreign policy in areas like decision-making processes, doctrinal and ideological bases and the ruptures and continuities with his predecessor's foreign policy. The conclusions provide a more nuanced view of the foreign policy of a US president inspired by different theoretical sources with more continuities with his predecessor than most authors admit, but conditioned by a dysfunctional decision- making process and the lack of strategy in the medium and long term.

In response to problems of political short-termism and time inconsistency, over the last decades a diversity of institutional reforms have been enacted and proposals have been advanced to enlarge the time horizon of political decisions, improve their time consistency, and better take into account the interests of future generations. This paper is a contribution to the normative analysis of such institutions. It mainly aims at examining their ability to cope with the plurality of determinants of short-termism and time inconsistency. To this aim, and after an introduction, I present the intertemporal problems that these institutions seek to address. A sample of such institutions is displayed next. They are organized by the types of mechanisms they employ as well as by their degree of independence, competencies, types of powers, and the extent of the mandate to which they are subject. Finally, the institutions previously introduced are assessed by their ability to cope with the motivational, epistemic, and institutional determinants of such problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The models of democratic legitimacy of political decisions have to respond to an in-herent tension between procedural and substantive aspects. One of the most suggestive answers is proposed by the deliberative theories of democracy. These theories are attractive because they believe to cancel the tension between these two dimensions. Democratic decisions would not be legitimate according to independent criteria to be correct nor be the result of a fair process, they would be legitimate because they are the result of a process that tends to produce just or correct decision. The aim of this paper is to discuss the idea that the justification of deliberation need to assume that these have epistemic value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
