WEIL AFONSO, Henrique  y  MAGALHAES, José Luiz Quadros de. The Plurinational States of Bolivia and Ecuador: Foundations for a rereading of Modern International Law. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2012, vol.12, pp.455-473. ISSN 1870-4654.

The new Constitutions of Bolivia (2008) and Ecuador (2008) may represent a break with the model of modern nation-state with important implications for international law. The emergence of new forms of organization in these intercultural societies permeates the foundations of modern European nation-state when proposing the reformulation and the exploration for alternatives to cultural and epistemological barriers typical of modernity. This paper examines the origins of modern international law and the consolidation of state bodies to carry out, finally, a discussion of multinational Constitutions, their instruments to address diversity and the broader constitutional proposal. It concludes with the reflection that plurinationality can potentially offer new interpretations of international law.

Palabras llave : multinational State; modernity; multiculturalism.
