Iberoamerican Public Law proposes to analyze contemporary public law from a problematic prospective, raising doubts where there are artificial consensus, contributing certainties where permanent dissents are abundant, with the conviction that the primary scientific principles of any investigation in this scope are the fundamental rights of the human person and the common good.
From this perspective, it seeks to link the national and the international scientific community, promoting with special endeavor the integration of Spanish American studies.
The journal promotes, cultivates, and transmits the study of public law funded on the principle of plurality and from the diverse scientific approaches: political and legal philosophy, constitutional theory, constitutional dogma, international law of fundamental rights, legal sociology, history of law and other concurrent disciplines.
In this matter, the journal is directed to a varied public, including lawyers and practical operators of law, as well as the academics and thinkers who see in iberoamerican public law and its development their area of interest and legal investigation.
The journal issued its first copy in the month of October 2012, and since that first number, the editorial team leaded by the Director, Dr. Julio Alvear, has not once interrupted its issuance, achieving to publish every semester since then.
