ATTILI, Antonella  and  SALAZAR CARRION, Luis. The Other Transition: Towards a New Legal and Political Culture. Isonomía [online]. 2012, n.37, pp.149-166. ISSN 1405-0218.

The note develops a theoretical exploration on the meaning and reach of the constitutional reforms approved by the Mexican Congress in June 2011. If taken seriously, the authors' contend, these reforms mark out the beginning of another transition, since they turn fundamental rights into a supra-ordained framework to be observed by ordinary laws and in the whole system of operation of the Mexican state.

Keywords : Fundamental rights; guarantees; constitutional democracy; June 2011 Mexican constitutional reform; Mexican transition.
