Abstract
The proposal of the present article highlights some theoretical-practical tendencies that are influencing, in the last decades, the field of the political philosophy and the theory of the law. As a product of insurgent democratic social movements and their resistance struggles, alternative paradigms and new institutional knowledge emerged in the Andes region, such as Ecuador (2008) and Bolivia (2009). Therefore, the text aims to demonstrate, first, tradition, ruptures and advances in Latin American constitutionalist theory to conclude, bringing the reference of pluralism and its contribution to the decolonization and social reordering of law theory.
