An understanding of law and its efficacy in Latin America demands
concepts distinct from the hegemonic notions of "rule of law" which
have dominated debates on law, politics and society, and that
recognize the diversity of situations and contexts characterizing
the region. The Routledge Handbook of Law and Society in Latin
America presents cutting-edge analysis of the central theoretical
and applied areas of enquiry in socio-legal studies in the region
by leading figures in the study of law and society from Latin
America, North America and Europe. Contributors argue that
scholarship about Latin America has made vital contributions to
longstanding and emerging theoretical and methodological debates on
the relationship between law and society. Key topics examined
include: The gap between law-on-the-books and law in action The
implications of legal pluralism and legal globalization The
legacies of experiences of transitional justice Emerging forms of
socio-legal and political mobilization Debates concerning the
relationship between the legal and the illegal. The Routledge
Handbook of Law and Society in Latin America sets out new research
agendas for cross-disciplinary socio-legal studies and will be of
interest to those studying law, sociology of law, comparative Latin
American politics, legal anthropology and development studies.
