Abstract

This work analyzes the itinerary for constitutional change that President Michelle Bachelet recently announced. Along with a presentation of the process, this work critically assesses some of its stages. It mainly contends that the set of institutional regulations it assumedregulations that were taken from current constitutional rulesmakes it impossible to talk, at least from a theoretical perspective, of a genuine constituent process. This work also offers a democratically adequate reading for the process, so that it will make possible a dialogue between the current institutions sought to be replaced and the mechanism for constitutional change, without subjecting the latter to the former.

Keywords:

constitutional change, constituent process, constituent power, institutional locks, Chile.
