About the CECC
The Center for Comparative Constitutional Studies at the University of Brasília (CECC/UnB) was founded in 2016 by Professor Juliano Zaiden Benvindo along with a group of highly motivated students eager to deepen their knowledge in the field of comparative constitutional law. CECC was born with the vision of becoming a global reference in the in-depth study of comparative constitutional law. Since its inception, CECC has been dedicated to unraveling the complexities of constitutions and constitutional systems around the world, with the firm purpose of contributing to a richer and multifaceted understanding of international legal realities.
Our approach is holistic and multidisciplinary, valuing the diversity of constitutional experiences and promoting an enriching dialogue among different legal traditions. We believe that by investigating the various ways in which constitutions are constructed, interpreted, and experienced in different cultural and political contexts, we can offer valuable insights for addressing contemporary challenges in global governance.
CECC/UnB is not limited to theory; we are committed to applying acquired knowledge to positively influence legal and political practices. Through a vibrant program of activities, including the supervision of cutting-edge academic research, the establishment of partnerships with prestigious international academic institutions, and the organization of events that promote critical and constructive debates on comparative law topics, CECC aims not only to expand the horizons of knowledge but also to shape the future of global constitutional law.
Our commitment to academic excellence and innovation places us at the forefront of comparative constitutional law study in Brazil. With a dedicated team of scholars, students, and professionals, CECC strives to create a stimulating environment where the exchange of ideas and transnational collaboration thrive.
