Book Description
La cultura jurídica tiene una influencia indudable en la realización de cualquier sistema democrático. No se trata de un objeto que usen solamente los juristas, sino que involucra a toda la ciudadanía. Ese es el objeto de estudio del presente ensayo, escrito por el filósofo del Derecho más importante del mundo en la actualidad: Luigi Ferrajoli. Para ilustrar el desarrollo de la cultura jurídica y su papel en la instauración de cualquier democracia, el autor hace referencia a un caso paradigmático: Italia. Se trata de un país que ha ejercido una gran influencia normativa y doctrinal en América Latina (incluyendo destacadamente al Perú). Los lectores podrán asomarse en este libro a la claridad, originalidad y contundencia argumentativa de Ferrajoli, para entender uno de los temas más importantes en el mundo del Derecho, como lo es el de la cultura jurídica y sus implicaciones. Luigi Ferrajoli Considerado uno de los principales teóricos del garantismo jurídico, este jurista italiano (nacido en Florencia en 1940) ha sido juez entre los años de 1967 y 1975 y profesor de Filosofía del Derecho y de Teoría General del Derecho de la Universidad de Camerino a partir de 1970, desempeñándose actualmente, desde el año 2003, como profesor de la Universidad de Roma III. Su libro más famoso es Derecho y razón, teoría del garantismo penal, que fue editado en español en el año 1995. Es considerado uno de los mejores manuales contemporáneos de Derecho Penal y Filosofía del Derecho. Otros libros suyos son Derechos y garantías: la ley del más débil; Democracia y garantismo; Los fundamentos de los derechos fundamentales; Razones jurídicas del pacifismo y Garantismo: una discusión sobre derechos y democracia.

Law and Society in Latin America
Author: Cesar Rodriguez Garavito
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136002480
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Over the past two decades, legal thought and practice in Latin America have changed dramatically: new constitutions or constitutional reforms have consolidated democratic rule, fundamental innovations have been introduced in state institutions, social movements have turned to law to advance their causes, and processes of globalization have had profound effects on legal norms and practices. Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map offers the first systematic assessment by leading Latin American socio-legal scholars of the momentous transformations in the region. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative lens, contributors analyze the central advances and dilemmas of contemporary Latin American law. Among them are pioneering jurisprudence and legal mobilization for the fulfillment of socioeconomic rights in a highly unequal region, the rise of multicultural constitutionalism and legal struggles around identity politics, the globalization of legal education and practice, tensions between developmental policies and environmental justice, and the emergence of a regional human rights system. These and other processes have not only radically altered the institutional landscape of the region, but also produced academic and practical innovations that are of global interest and defy conventional accounts of Latin American law inherited from law-and-development studies. Painting a portrait of the new Latin American legal thought for an international audience, Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map will be of particular interest to students of comparative law, legal mobilization, and Latin American politics.

A Three-Dimensional Theory of Law
Author: María José Falcon y Tella
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004193375
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
What this book intends to do is to study three-dimensionalism (the distinction values-norms-facts) not in what could be called its historical dimension, but in its substantive aspect, as a “form” that, when applied to different legal themes, would add a “material content” to the three-dimensional theory. We can point out, as a study plan, the distinction between “three” perspectives: Those of the legal norm, of the legal order, and the legal relationship. Three-dimensionalism also appears in this work when one analyzes the “three” phases of the life of the law: The formation, the interpretation, and the application; and in the distinction between the “three” characteristics of the legal order: Fullness, coherence, and unity—the theory of legal validity, intended as legitimacy, as validity strictly speaking, or as effectiveness.

International Criminal Law in Mexico
Author: Tania Ixchel Atilano
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9462654557
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This book puts forward proposals for solutions to the current gaps between the Mexican legal order and the norms and principles of international criminal law. Adequate legislative measures are suggested for compliance with international obligations. The author approaches the book's subject matter by tracing all norms related to the prosecution of core crimes and contextualizing each of the findings with a brief historical and political account. Additionally, state practice is analyzed, identifying patterns and inconsistencies. This approach is new in offering a wide perspective on international criminal law in Mexico. Relevant legal documents are analyzed and annexed in the book, providing the reader with a useful guide to the topics analyzed. Issues including the following are examined: the incorporation of core crimes in the Mexican legal order, military jurisdiction, the war crimes definition under Mexican law, unaddressed atrocities, state practice and future challenges to combat impunity. The book will be of relevance to legal scholars, students, practitioners of law and human rights advocates. It also offers interesting insights to political scientists, historians and journalists. Tania Ixchel Atilano has a Dr. Iur. from the Humboldt Universität Berlin, an LLM in German Law from the Ludwig Maximilian Universität, Munich, and attained her law degree at the ITAM in Mexico City.

Transformative Constitutionalism in Latin America
Author: Armin von Bogdandy
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192515462
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This ground-breaking collection of essays outlines and explains the unique development of Latin American jurisprudence. It introduces the idea of the Ius Constitutionale Commune en América Latina (ICCAL), an original Latin American path of transformative constitutionalism, to an Anglophone audience for the first time. It charts the key developments that have transformed the region and assesses the success of the constitutional projects that followed a period of authoritarian regimes in Latin America. Coined by scholars who have been documenting, conceptualizing, and comparing the development of Latin American public law for more than a decade, the term ICCAL encompasses themes that cross national borders and legal fields, taking in constitutional law, administrative law, general public international law, regional integration law, human rights, and investment law. Not only does this volume map the legal landscape, it also suggests measures to improve society via due legal process and a rights-based, supranational and regionally rooted constitutionalism. The editors contend that with the strengthening of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights, common problems such as the exclusion of wide sectors of the population from having a say in government, as well as corruption, hyper-presidentialism, and the weak normativity of the law can be combatted more effectively in future.

The Economics of Crime
Author: Rafael Di Tella
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226791858
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
This title presents a survey of the crime problem in Latin America, which takes a very broad and appropriately reductionist approach to analyse the determinants of the high crime levels, focusing on the negative social conditions in the region, including inequality and poverty, and poor policy design, such as relatively low police presence. The chapters illustrate three channels through which crime might generate poverty, that is, by reducing investment, by introducing assets losses, and by reducing the value of assets remaining in the control of households.

Global Environmental Constitutionalism
Author: James R. May
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107022258
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

Author: Livia Holden
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000884635
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Cultural Expertise, Law, and Rights introduces readers to the theory and practice of cultural expertise in the resolution of conflicts and the claim of rights in diverse societies. Combining theory and case-studies of the use of cultural expertise in real situations, and in a great variety of fields, this is the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of the field of cultural expertise: its intellectual orientations, practical applications and ethical implications. This book engages an extensive and interdisciplinary variety of topics – ranging from race, language, sexuality, Indigenous rights and women’s rights to immigration and asylum laws, international commercial arbitration and criminal law. It also offers a truly global perspective covering cultural expertise in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North America. Finally, the book offers theoretical and practical guidance for the ethical use of cultural expert knowledge. This is an essential volume for teachers and students in the social sciences – especially law, anthropology, and sociology – and members of the legal professions who engage in cross-cultural dispute resolution, asylum and migration, private international law and other fields of law in which cultural arguments play a role.

Contesting Austerity
Author: Anuscheh Farahat
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509942831
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This book addresses the different forms of austerity, contestation and resistance, in order to understand how they relate to one another and the impact they have on the democratic quality of public debates, the trust in public institutions and the legitimacy of law. Contestation of austerity includes not only traditional activism strategies such as human rights litigation and direct democracy instruments, but also new forms of collective action and collaborative resistance. Most importantly, many of the new anti-austerity initiatives also aim to renovate existing modes of democratic decision-making on the European, national, regional and local levels. The book focuses on different types of contesting austerity measures and the interaction between institutional and civil society actors. It will enhance understanding of how the various actors frame not only their goal but also the underlying social conflict to contest austerity and through which means they try to achieve political and legal changes. With 16 chapters written by contributors from Spain, Germany, Greece, Portugal and the UK, the book approaches 3 crucial areas of austerity policies: cuts in payment and pensions, labour law reform, and old and new poverty. In each field, the contributors analyse the processes of decision-making and contestation from 3 perspectives: institutions, democratic theory and societal responses.
