Revista de Derecho Público Revista de Derecho Público is a scholarly legal periodical focused on constitutional, administrative, and public international law matters, produced in the Hispanic legal sphere. It has served as a forum connecting jurists, judges, legislators, and scholars from institutions such as Universidad de Chile, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. The journal has engaged debates linked to landmark events like the Constitution of Chile (1980), the Constitution of Spain (1978), and regional processes involving the Organization of American States, Mercosur, and the Andean Community.
Founded in the 20th century amid efforts to modernize legal scholarship in Latin America and Iberia, the journal emerged alongside academic initiatives at Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad de Barcelona, Universidad de Sevilla, and Universidad de Granada. Early contributors included professors associated with institutions such as Universidad de Córdoba (Argentina), Universidad Nacional de La Plata, and Universidad de Concepción. Over decades it reflected transformations following the Spanish transition to democracy, the reformation of constitutional frameworks in countries like Argentina after the Dirty War (Argentina), and Chilean constitutional debates post-Pinochet dictatorship. It paralleled comparative law exchanges with scholars from Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.
The journal emphasizes analysis of instruments such as the American Convention on Human Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, and national constitutions like the Constitution of Mexico (1917). It publishes doctrinal essays, case comments on rulings by tribunals like the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights, the Supreme Court of the United States, and national supreme courts including the Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación (Argentina), the Supreme Court of Chile, and the Tribunal Constitucional de España. Themes include administrative adjudication illustrated by cases in the Consejo de Estado (France), comparative constitutionalism involving scholars from Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, and regulatory studies connected to agencies like the Federal Communications Commission and the European Commission.
Published periodically by university presses and legal institutes such as Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas (UNAM), Centro de Estudios Constitucionales (Chile), and editorial houses in Madrid, Buenos Aires, Santiago, and Mexico City, the journal circulated in print and digital formats. Distribution networks extended through libraries including the Biblioteca Nacional de España, the Library of Congress, the Biblioteca Nacional de Chile, and university repositories at Universidad de Salamanca Library and Biblioteca del Congreso de la Nación (Argentina). Editions have been cataloged alongside periodicals from publishers like Editorial Jurídica de Chile and academic series by Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and Springer.
Noteworthy contributions addressed pivotal rulings and doctrines such as analyses of the Marbury v. Madison legacy in Latin contexts, commentary on the Caso Gelman at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and comparative studies involving the European Court of Justice and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Articles engaged with constitutional reform episodes in Colombia linked to the 1991 constitution, transitional justice topics referencing the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, and regulatory challenges related to trade in World Trade Organization jurisprudence. Contributors have included academics affiliated with New York University School of Law, Columbia Law School, Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), Universidad Austral (Argentina), and legal practitioners from high courts and ministries, citing cases such as R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union and regional arbitration matters under International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
