DESCRIPTION:Mexico’s transition to democracy is a process which has been 
 fatally interrupted and is actively being reversed. The point-of-no-return
  may be identified in September of 2024\, when a cluster of mayor constitu
 tional amendments -notably\, the demolition of the Federal Judiciary and r
 emoval of strict constitutional limits on action by the military in times 
 of peace- was approved. The roots of failure\, however\, reach back much f
 urther. Exploring this “crónica de una muerte anunciada” should take 
 us beyond Mexico\, and allow us to look into the tensions inherent to cons
 titutionalism as a project: a dual commitment to popular sovereignty and l
 imited government.\n\nAlejandro Madrazo received an LL.M. (’03) and a J.
 S.D. (’06) from Yale Law School. Until 2022\, Madrazo was a tenured prof
 essor at CIDE in Aguascalientes\, Mexico\, where he founded the interdisci
 plinary Drug Policy Program. Before becoming a full-time professor in 2009
  he practiced constitutional litigation\, specializing in high-impact\, pu
 blic interest cases before Mexico’s Supreme Court\, winning landmark cas
 es on abortion law\, same-sex marriage\, tobacco control and anti-trust la
 w. Professor Madrazo has published work on militarization\, history of leg
 al thought\, constitutional law\, sexual and reproductive rights\, drug po
 licy\, and tobacco control. He is currently Academic Director of Talisis\,
  in Monterrey\, Mexico and a member of the Board at Drug Policy Alliance.\
