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.
