A look at the argentine federalism: speech and reality

Abstract

Abstract:
Basically, this paper attempts: (i) to present the current situation of argentine federalism; (ii) to examine whether in reality have been fulfilled the guidelines established by the constitutional reform of 1994 to «strengthen» it; (iii) to analyze some issues of interest arising from federal dynamics, for example: (a) whether provincial constitutions can establish more rights than those contained in the Federal Constitution or provide rights already enshrined in this (and replicated in those) a stronger protective flow; (b) about the «federal clause» included in certain international human rights instruments, such as the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights, and (c) in relation to the impact of the conventionality control in federal relations; and, finally, (iv) to try to capturing the perspectives of federalism contained in the argentinian institutional horizon.
