Opis

Legal thought and practice in Latin America has changed dramatically in the last two decades. First: new constitutions or constitutional reforms have marked the transition to democracy of the vast majority of the countries in the region and introduced fundamental institutional innovations, such as judicial review. Second: processes of globalization have had profound impacts on Latin American law. This volume offers a systematic assessment of these momentous transformations, painting a portrait of the new Latin American legal thought for an international audience.
