Abstract

This article contributes to the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Historia Constitucional, underscoring its importance in the study of Latin American constitutionalism. Since its inception in 2000, the journal has fostered an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective between Europe and Latin America in the field of constitutional history. With 103 articles devoted to the region, the journal has become a key reference point in the Ibero-American historiography of constitutionalism. Nineteenth-century constitutionalism, particularly the doceañista tradition, has been the most frequently explored theme. The journal has also published significant studies on Brazil, New Granada, Peru, and Mexico, as well as analyses of the impact of Gaditan constitutionalism and its reception across the Americas. Special issues have addressed liberalism, Catholicism, and autonomism. The journal has also questioned the predominant military-centered narrative of independence, proposing instead a constitutional reading of the process. Historia Constitucional stands out for its academic rigor in connecting history, law, and politics.
