    Resumen La academia jurídica históricamente se ha ocupado con diligencia de examinar el conocimiento jurídico como una forma de interactuar, controlar o transformar el mundo. No obstante, se ha ocupado solo tangencialmente de los discursos y prácticas que constituyen las precondiciones para la creación del conocimiento jurídico, así como de aquellos que regulan su valor, distribución y uso. Comparative Constitutional Law and the Global South es un libro que se aparta de esta regla general en la academia jurídica. El libro tiene como su objeto de estudio la economía política del conocimiento jurídico. Por un lado, cuestiona los modelos dominantes que controlan la producción, intercambio y uso de productos jurídicos. Por el otro, ofrece un modelo alternativo para crear, distribuir y poner en operación el conocimiento legal. Para examinar los fines del libro, así como su materialización, divido este texto en dos partes. En la primera, describo y analizo los dos modelos dominantes en la economía política del conocimiento jurídico: el modelo liberal y el modelo colonial. En la segunda, examino los argumentos por medio de los cuales el libro cuestiona estos modelos y analizo su propuesta normativa: el giro hacia el Sur en el derecho constitucional comparado.

    Abstract Legal academia has historically been diligent in examining legal knowledge as a method of interacting with, controlling, or transforming the world. However, it has been only tangentially concerned with the discourses and practices that constitute the preconditions to produce legal knowledge, as well as those that regulate its value, distribution, and use. The Global South and Comparative Constitutional Law is a book that deviates from this general rule in legal academia. The book's main subject of enquiry is the political economy of legal knowledge. On the one hand, it questions the dominant models that control the production, exchange, and use of legal products. On the other hand, it offers an alternative model for creating, distributing, and operationalizing legal knowledge. To examine the aims of the book, as well as its materialization, I divide this essay into two parts. First, I describe and analyze the two dominant models in the political economy of legal knowledge: the liberal model and the colonial model. Secondly, I examine the arguments by means of which the book questions these models and analyze its normative proposal: the Southern turn in comparative constitutional law.
