About CECC
The Center for Comparative Constitutional Studies of the University of Brasília (CECC/UnB) was founded in 2016 by Professor Juliano Zaiden Benvindo, together with a group of students motivated to deepen their knowledge of comparative constitutional law. There is a collective commitment to unraveling the complexities of constitutions and constitutional systems around the world, in order to contribute to a richer and more multifaceted understanding of international legal realities and constitutional designs.
Through 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 debate on topics of comparative law, CECC aims to be a global reference in comparative constitutional law research.
Our approach is holistic and multidisciplinary, valuing the diversity of constitutional experiences and fostering an enriching dialogue among different legal traditions. We believe that, by investigating the various ways in which constitutions are built, interpreted, and experienced in different cultural and political contexts, we can influence legal and political practices and offer valuable insights for addressing the contemporary challenges of global governance.
