Meer over het boek

Focusing on the historical interplay between the Executive and the Judiciary, this book offers a fresh interpretation of a key institution established in 1947. Utilizing Memoirs of Justice Ministers and departmental reports, it reveals the complexities faced by a constitutional entity affected by patrimonialism since 1819. The analysis is enriched by the New History movement in Colombia, which has emerged since the 1970s, providing a nuanced understanding of the institution's evolution and challenges within the broader context of Colombian history.
