Professor M.C. Mirow has published a study of Juan Bautista Alberdi’s highly influential book on Latin American constitutions, Bases and Starting Points for the Political Organization of the Argentine Republic. Mirow’s contribution appears in The Formation and Transmission of Western Legal Culture; 150 Books that made the Law in the Age of Printing, published in Heidelberg and edited by Dauchy, Martyn, Musson, Pihlajamäki, and Wijffels. “First published in 1852, Alberdi’s Bases was an important comparative work on constitutions and charted the way for may developments in the region. I am glad it was selected as one of the most important 150 books in Western law, and it was very kind of the editors to ask me to write about it,” said Mirow, a member of the Florida bar and author of Latin American Constitutions (Cambridge University Press, 2015).
