A história política e jurídica do Brasil é marcada pela alternância entre modelos de constituição que refl etem, em sua concretude, experiências autoritárias e democráticas. No presente artigo são descritos, com maior atenção, os períodos compreendidos entre 1930 e 1945 e entre 1964 e 1988. A história constitucional é apresentada a partir de uma determinada chave de leitura, a saber, a relação entre direito e política. São descritos e abordados os aspectos autoritários da experiência política posterior à Revolução de 30, especialmente durante o Estado Novo. Posteriormente, o artigo trata do regime militar brasileiro (1964-1985) sob uma perspectiva conceitual, com o objetivo de ressaltar os projetos de transição e constituição que estavam em disputa. As refl exões conclusivas propõem uma avaliação dos riscos e perspectivas para o constitucionalismo brasileiro contemporâneo, a partir da experiência constituinte de 1987-1988.

This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of "innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions. ; Innovation and transition in law: some introductory remarks on the heuristic value of a conceptual pair / Massimo Meccarelli, Cristiano Paixão, Claudia Roesler (pp. 9-19). -- Time of innovation and time of transition shaping the legal dimension: a methodological approach from legal history / Massimo Meccarelli (pp. 23-44). -- What is a legal transition?

Bringing together some of the world's leading scholars, practitioners, and human-rights activists, this groundbreaking volume provides the first systematic analysis of the 2012-2014 Brazilian National Truth Commission. While attentive to the inquiry's local and national dimensions, it offers an illuminating transnational perspective that considers the Commission's Latin American regional context and relates it to global efforts for human rights accountability, contributing to a more general and critical reassessment of truth commissions from a variety of viewpoints
