Stephen Holmes
Con la colaboración de Carmen Carrillo Franco, de la Universidad Complutense, hemos recuperado un artículo del profesor Stephen Holmes convenientemente actualizado por su autor, que exhibe dos importantes insumos hábilmente entrelazados. La reflexión madura de un constitucionalista que no renuncia a integrar en un mismo plano el estudio de la dimensión política y la jurídica-institucional, y su apabullante comprensión del desorden degenerativo que ha sucedido al difunto sistema soviético, que no solo no resulta superfluo en el background de un constitucionalista español, sino que parece imprescindible para ejercer el propio menester de manera correcta.
With the collaboration of Carmen Carrillo Franco, from the Complutense University, we have recovered an article by Professor Stephen Holmes, conveniently updated by its author, which exhibits two important inputs skillfully intertwined. The mature reflection of a constitutionalist who does not renounce to integrate in the same plane the study of the political dimension and the legal-institutional, and his overwhelming understanding of the degenerative disorder that has succeeded the deceased Soviet system, which not only does not seem superfluous in the background of a Spanish constitutionalist, but seems essential to exercise the task correctly.
