Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas about law are undergoing dramatic change in Latin America. The consolidation of democracy as the predominant form of government and the proliferation of transnational legal instruments have ushered in an era of new legal conceptions and practices. Law has become a core focus of political movements and policy-making. This volume explores the changing legal ideas and practices that accompany, cause, and are a consequence of the judicialization of politics in Latin America. It is the product of a three-year international research effort, sponsored by the Law and Society Association, the Latin American Studies Association, and the Ford Foundation, that gathered leading and emerging scholars of Latin American courts from across disciplines and across continents.

Download or read book Comparative Law in a Global Context written by Werner F. Menski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its second edition, this textbook presents a critical rethinking of the study of comparative law and legal theory in a globalising world, and proposes an alternative model. It highlights the inadequacies of current Western theoretical approaches in comparative law, international law, legal theory and jurisprudence, especially for studying Asian and African laws, arguing that they are too parochial and eurocentric to meet global challenges. Menski argues for combining modern natural law theories with positivist and socio-legal traditions, building an interactive, triangular concept of legal pluralism. Advocated as the fourth major approach to legal theory, this model is applied in analysing the historical and conceptual development of Hindu law, Muslim law, African laws and Chinese law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology explores the political nature of making order through policing activities across Africa, Asia and Latin America. What these contexts have in common is a plurality of order-making practices. Not one institution monopolizes the means of violence or a de facto sovereign position to do so. A number of interests are played out simultaneously, entailing re-negotiations over the very definition of what 'order' is. Policing and the Politics of Order-Making explores how the enactment and contestation of order-making can be a route to power and thus inherently political.

Book excerpt: This edited volume approaches regionalism as one potential pattern in a changing global order. Since the end of the Cold War, different forms of territorialization have emerged and we are confronted with an increasing number and variety of actors that are establishing regional projects. This volume offers an innovative contribution to the study of this new complexity by exploring constellations of regional actors, spatial scales and imaginations beyond state-centred perspectives as well as on multiple, often overlapping levels. The chapters analyse the emergence, trajectories and outcomes of regionalisms from the perspective of the Global South, specifically concentrating on regional projects in Latin America and Africa, but also in the Asia-Pacific. They attempt to identify the specific conditions and junctures of different forms of region-making in their external (global) and internal (local/national) dimensions. The volume also places special emphasis on interactions, spatial entanglements and comparisons between regionalisms in different parts of the world. By expanding beyond the perspective of North-South transfers, this book seeks to better understand the dynamics and diversity of interregional interactions. This volume will appeal to scholars of global studies, international political economy, international relations, human geography, and development studies, as well as area studies specialists who focus on Latin America and Africa.

This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of law is a pursuit that requires deep exploration and understanding of its fundamental principles and their application in different legal systems. The complexities of law can be both intriguing and challenging, and a comprehensive analysis of the dichotomy between public and private law is essential to grasp the nuances of legal relationships and remedies. In this book, we embark on an intellectual journey, meticulously examining the dichotomy of public and private law and its significance in the legal landscape. We begin by tracing the genesis of public law and unraveling the boundaries that distinguish it from private law. Exploring the parties involved, the nature of legal relationships, and the remedies and procedures available, we lay the groundwork for a comprehensive understanding of this multifaceted dichotomy. As we delve deeper into the subject matter, we challenge existing notions and encourage readers to rethink the boundaries of public and private law. The separation of powers, a cornerstone of democratic systems, assumes a new dimension as we analyze its evolving nature and its influence on legal systems across the globe. We explore the transformation of natural law and its impact on the domain of public law, shedding light on the dynamic interplay between legal principles and societal changes. Furthermore, we explore the role of public and private law in the era of globalization, recognizing the interconnectedness of legal systems and the challenges posed by an increasingly interconnected world. By examining the rule of law and the doctrine of separation of powers in Islamic and socialist legal systems, we gain valuable insights into alternative approaches to legal governance and the protection of human rights. A comprehensive exploration of civil legal systems, including the Romano-German legal system, mixed legal systems, and common law traditions, forms a crucial part of our analysis. From Germany to France, Switzerland to Finland, and beyond, we examine the constitutional frameworks, judicial independence, court systems, and legal aid provisions that define these legal systems and shape their application in society. As we traverse through the chapters, we also explore the legal systems of Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Singapore, South Africa, and India, unraveling the intricacies of their legal frameworks and the principles that underpin them. From written constitutions to the structure of governments, from the powers of the judiciary to the protection of fundamental rights, we delve into the unique characteristics of each legal system, offering a comprehensive analysis for readers. Additionally, we delve into the principles of natural justice and their significance in the Indian legal system. We explore the role of the Ombudsman in India, the right to information, and the juxtaposition of private and public laws, providing valuable insights into the evolving landscape of legal governance in India. Moreover, we delve into the socialist legal systems of Russia and the People's Republic of China, analyzing their written constitutions, governance structures, and the role of the judiciary within their legal frameworks. By examining the incorporation of rights and duties, the rigidity of the constitution, and the hierarchy of courts, we gain a deeper understanding of the legal systems of these nations. Finally, we explore the Muslim legal systems of Iran, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, shedding light on their unique characteristics and their influence on legal governance within these nations. Through our exploration of private and public law, we also analyze the practices of states, the interpretation of constitutions, the philosophy of rights and liberties, and the right to equality. Furthermore, we delve into the jurisprudential aspects of private and public law, examining influential theories and concepts that shape our understanding of legal systems and their functioning. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for legal scholars, practitioners, students, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of public and private law. Our aim is to facilitate critical thinking, foster academic discourse, and contribute to the advancement of legal knowledge in a rapidly changing world. We invite you to embark on this intellectual journey, exploring the intricacies of legal systems and gaining a deeper understanding of the dichotomy between public and private law. Happy reading!

This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times there has been a dramatic change in the nature and scope of constitutional justice systems in the global south. New or reformed constitutions have proliferated, protecting social, economic, and political rights. While constitutional courts in Latin America have traditionally been used as ways to limit power and preserve the status quo, the evidence shows that they are evolving into a functioning part of contemporary politics and a central component of a system of constitutional justice. This book lays bare the political roots of this transformation, outlining a new way to understand judicial design and the very purpose of constitutional justice. Authors Daniel M. Brinks and Abby Blass use case studies drawn from nineteen Latin American countries over forty years to reveal the ideas behind the new systems of constitutional justice. They show how constitutional designers entrust their hopes and fears to dynamic governance systems, in hopes of directing the development of constitutional meaning over time.

Download or read book Decolonial Politics in European Peripheries written by Sanja S. Petkovska and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decolonial Politics in European Peripheries: Redefining Progressiveness, Coloniality and Transition Efforts is a timely contribution to the project of theorizing "Europe" through decolonial perspectives on the Left, as the European and global crisis has prompted new reflections on what it means to sit still at the European "peripheries". The book explores how the joint scholarship efforts of postcolonial and postsocialist scholars might come up with better-grounded and more detailed theoretical and methodological insights into the process of globalization, and subsequent peripheralization, if framed under a progressive and leftist perspective. The authors, many from the South-East Europe region, use a variety of analytical lenses to demonstrate how the nexus of postcolonial, postsocialist area studies and progressive developmental political thought could inspire changes in the future which are in dissonance with neoliberal and neoconservative capitalism. As the side effects of global capitalism continue to accelerate, scholars and activists in the postsocialist periphery are increasingly turning to the concept of decoloniality in the hope it might offer more options on how to begin to build up their framework. This book offers numerous examples of how decolonial theory can be applied to activist work in the fight against austerity and neo-liberalization, as well as examples of how decolonial critique can be mobilized to contest processes of Europeanization and Euro-Atlantic integration. This book will intrigue students and scholars of critical social scholarship in general, postsocialism, postcolonialism, critiques of right populism and the rise of white nationalism in Europe, as well as those studying the regions of South-Eastern Europe and Eurasia more generally. It will also interest activists, organizers, decision-makers, policy analysts, and leftists, both in the region and internationally.

Download or read book Socio-Legal Struggles for Indigenous Self-Determination in Latin America written by Roger Merino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an interdisciplinary study of struggles for indigenous self-determination and the recognition of indigenous’ territorial rights in Latin America. Studies of indigenous peoples’ opposition to extractive industries have tended to focus on its economic, political or social aspects, as if these were discrete dimensions of the conflict. In contrast, this book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the tensions between indigenous peoples’ territorial rights and the governance of extractive industries and related state developmental policies. Analysing the contentious process pushed by indigenous peoples for implementing pluri-nationality against extractive projects and pro-extractive policies, the book compares the struggle for territorial rights in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. Centrally, it argues that indigenous territorial defenses against the extractive industries articulate a politics of self-determination that challenges coloniality as the foundation of the nation-state. The resource governance of the nation-state assumes that indigenous peoples must be integrated or assimilated within multicultural arrangements as ethnic minorities with proprietary entitlements, so they can participate in the benefits of development. As the struggle for indigenous self-determination in Latin America maintains that indigenous peoples must not be considered as ethnic communities with property rights, but as nations with territorial rights, this book argues that it offers a radical re-imagination of politics, development, and constitutional arrangements. Drawing on detailed case studies, this book’s multidisciplinary account of indigenous movements in Latin America will appeal to those with relevant interests in politics, law, sociology and development studies.
