This book provides a nuanced picture of how diverse legal debates on the pursuit of economic development and modernization have played out in Latin America since independence.The opposing concepts of modernization theory and Dependency Theory can be seen to be playing out within the field of legal transformation, as some legal analysts define law as a closed, formal, rational system, and others see law as inseparable from economic, social and political change. Legal experiments have followed these trends, in some cases using legal instruments to guarantee classical, civil and political rights, and in others demanding radical transformation of existing legal structures. This book traces these debates across the key topics of: economic development and foreign investment; property; resource and power distribution in terms of gender and social policy. Drawing on a wide range of literature, the book adds complexity and color to our understanding of these themes in Latin America. This insightful exploration of comparative law within Latin America provides the tools needed to understand legal transformation in the region, and as such will be of interest to researchers within law, political sociology, development and Latin American studies.

Since World War II, a growing number of jurisdictions in both the developing and industrialized worlds have adopted progressive constitutions that guarantee social and economic rights (SER) in addition to political and civil rights. Parallel developments have occurred at transnational level with the adoption of treaties that commit signatory states to respect and fulfil SER for their peoples.This book is a product of the International Social and Economic Rights Project (iSERP), a global consortium of judges, lawyers, human rights advocates, and legal academics who critically examine the effectiveness of SER law in promoting real change in people’s lives. The book addresses a range of practical, political, and legal questions under these headings, with acute sensitivity to the racial, cultural, and gender implications of SER and the path-breaking SER jurisprudence now emerging in the "Global South". The book brings together internationally renowned experts in the field of social and economic rights to discuss a range of rights controversies from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Contributors of the book consider specific issues in the litigation and adjudication of SER cases from the differing standpoints of activists, lawyers, and adjudicators in order to identify and address the specific challenges facing the SER community.This book will be of great use and interest to students and scholars of comparative constitutional law, human rights, public international law, development studies, and democratic political theory.

This book explores the emergence of a new developmental state in Latin America and its significance for law and development theory. In Brazil since 2000, emerging forms of state activism, including a new industrial policy and a robust social policy, differ from both classic developmental state and neoliberal approaches. They favor a strong state and a strong market, employ public-private partnerships, seek to reduce inequality, and embrace the global economy. Case studies of state activism and law in Brazil show new roles emerging for legal institutions. They describe how the national development bank uses law in innovation promotion, trade law strengthens new developmental policies in export promotion and public health, and social law frames innovative poverty-relief programs that reduce inequality and stimulate demand. Contrasting Brazilian experience with Colombia and Mexico, the book underscores the unique features of Brazil's trajectory and the importance of this experience for understanding the role of law in development today.

The contributions to this book analyse and submit to critique authoritarian constitutionalism as an important phenomenon in its own right, not merely as a deviant of liberal constitutionalism. Accordingly, the fourteen studies cover a variety of authoritarian regimes from Hungary to Apartheid South Africa, from China to Venezuela; from Syria to Argentina, and discuss the renaissance of authoritarian agendas and movements, such as populism, Trumpism, nationalism and xenophobia. From different theoretical perspectives the authors elucidate how authoritarian power is constituted, exercised and transferred in the different configurations of popular participation, economic imperatives, and imaginary community. Authoritarian Constitutionalism is of great interest to teachers, scholars and students of comparative constitutional law, comparative politics, and legal and political theory.Contributors include: H. Alviar García, D. Davis, M.W. Dowdle, O. El Manfalouty, G. Frankenberg, R. Gargarella, J. González Jácome, D. Kennedy, E. Mérieau, S. Newton, N. Spaulding, N. Sultany, M. Wilkinson, H. Yamamoto

Feminist Frontiers in Climate Justice provides a compelling demonstration of the deeply gendered and unequal effects of the climate emergency, alongside the urgent need for a feminist perspective to expose and address these structural political, social and economic inequalities. Taking a nuanced, multidisciplinary approach, this book explores new ways of thinking about how climate change interacts with gender inequalities and feminist concerns with rights and law, and how the human world is bound up with the non-human, natural world.With contributions from leading scholars in law, feminism, human rights and politics, this book considers how equality is conceptualised experienced and used in policies, law and practice that are integral to climate justice. Chapters reveal how international and national policy and legal frameworks fall short on gender equality and climate justice. Overall, the book demonstrates that the climate crisis demands an ambitious and transformative approach to equality, including developing feminist ideas of care and social reproduction, to reconstruct law and policy towards a more just world for all.This ground-breaking book will be essential reading for scholars across many areas of law including environmental law, human rights, public international law, law and gender, and law and development. Its discussion of the international framework alongside in-depth casestudies and assessments of women’s mobilization strategies will also be highly relevant to social scientists, officials in international organizations, policymakers, lawyers and activists.

El derecho administrativo, en su definición y contenido, ha sido visto tradicionalmente como uno de los campos jurídicos en los que se define, configura y concreta la tensión entre los ideales de igualdad y libertad de una sociedad. Históricamente, el derecho administrativo se desarrolló como un conjunto de herramientas encaminada a hacer que los gobernantes, en su interacción con la comunidad, se rigieran por unas normas que garantizaran la libertad de los individuos. Es decir, que no se cometieran arbitrariedades, que en la actuación del Estado se respetara el debido proceso de acuerdo con el principio de legalidad.En Colombia, esta interpretación del derecho administrativo prevaleció durante las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI, por esta razón, los catorce capítulos que conforman este libro representan la apuesta de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de los Andes y Editorial Temis por renovar la literatura jurídica nacional sobre el derecho administrativo.
Feminismo y crítica jurídica.
El análisis distributivo como alternativa crítica al legalismo liberal.

Este libro propone el análisis distributivo como alternativa para pensar el problema de la participación del derecho en la configuración del mundo y, en particular, en el papel del derecho frente a la situación de las mujeres. Su principal aporte es evidenciar los polos argumentativos en los que terminamos atrapados y revelar una tercera manera de entender los problemas reiterados en el análisis jurídico o en las ciencias sociales. En este sentido, busca intervenir en el campo de la teoría jurídica general y en el debate colombiano sobre el derecho. Coedición con la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de los Andes (Colombia).

La propiedad privada de la tierra ha sido una preocupación de carácter político, social, económico y jurídico que ha caracterizado la historia del país. Los dos textos que hacen parte de este libro no solo se ocupan de revisar y de analizar quiénes han sido y son actualmente propietarios conforme a las nociones de propiedad privada definidas en códigos y constituciones, sino que, adicionalmente, se aproximan a un debate que lejos de estar superado parece estar presente en la agenda política colombiana: el de la redistribución de la propiedad de la tierra.Helena Alviar y Catalina Villegas le recuerdan al lector la importancia de retomar el análisis de estos dos temas, con un lente de interpretación amplio, que incluye un diálogo del derecho con la economía, la política y la historia. Los dos textos se nutren entonces de la revisión de fuentes primarias y de líneas de tiempo que se remontan a la década de 1936, para preguntarse por el papel del derecho, de los jueces y abogados, de los procedimientos administrativos y judiciales, de las nociones de desarrollo económico, de las instituciones, de las ideologías y de los partidos políticos, y del campo y de la ciudad, teniendo presente la complejidad de la problemática del acceso a la tierra y del derecho de propiedad privada en Colombia.

En la historia de Colombia no es necesario recurrir a leyendas fantásticas ni a imaginarios, quimeras o bestiarios para cubrirnos de asombro ante los malabarismos de la selva sino que basta observar la realidad cotidiana para comprender que en esta república de tantas geografías y gentes dispersas y diversas, vegetan y florecen las nueces del delirio y los ingenios de realidades fantasiosas y de pasiones contrahechas. En esta Colombia ejemplar, vegetan quienes suponen que el cohecho es delito de uno, que la traición a la patria elige presidentes, que el robo millonario a seres indefensos hace magistrados, que la expropiación de tierras eleva a sus promotores a niveles ministeriales, que la compra y venta de votos hace congresistas y que el crimen tiene inmunidad cuando se trata de familias poderosas. Media Colombia sabe que el fundamento de la democracia no reside en las instituciones ni en la participación popular sino en las armas, y que las bancarrotas son verdaderas obras de arte de honestos financistas.

El curso de Constitución y democracia tiene como propósito la formación de una ciudadanía responsable y crítica, a partir del conocimiento básico del marco constitucional y el sistema de derechos contenido en él. Así, se espera formar un estudiante conocedor y cuestionador del sistema normativo básico que rige a la sociedad en relación con la estructura del Estado, el sistema de derechos y sus mecanismos de protección. Todo lo anterior, con el fin de que esté en capacidad de participar activamente en la sociedad para contribuir de manera ética en la resolución de los problemas que atañen a todos. Se espera entonces que el estudiante:1. Comprenda y cuestione la estructura del Estado y sus funciones básicas, de manera que pueda establecer la forma en que el Estado protege los derechos constitucionales. En este sentido, se busca que los estudiantes puedan identificar escenarios de tensiones institucionales y relacionarlos con los hechos cotidianos.2. Aplique los derechos constitucionales, y no solo que los identifique (conocer), sino que los pueda describir, explicar, ejemplificar y distinguir (comprender), al punto de relacionarlos con la vida, usarlos y solucionar problemas sociales.3. Analice el valor de la democracia como procedimiento de construcción de consensos y medio de protección y goce de los derechos constitucionales y, en relación con ello, comprenda los principios del proceso democrático y el significado de poder participar en los procesos de toma de decisiones.

Desde principios del siglo XX ha estado presente en el debate público el tema de la distribución de la tierra en Colombia. El intento de reforma agraria a mediados del siglo XX y los debates sobre su éxito o fracaso redistributivo, sin embargo, adquirieron otros significados con la emergencia de políticas rurales liberales en la década de los noventa, más preocupadas por la seguridad en la tenencia, la propiedad y la productividad de la tierra. Durante la segunda década del siglo XXI, con el crecimiento exponencial de grandes olas de desplazamiento forzado de poblaciones rurales a causa del conflicto armado (que habían empezado una década antes), el debate sobre la tierra revivió, con mucho énfasis en la importancia de los derechos de propiedad. A pesar de la proliferación de investigaciones so¬bre el papel que la tierra y su distribución desempeñan en la violencia en Colombia y de los múltiples diagnósticos de los efectos de dicha violencia sobre la población rural y sus derechos de propiedad, poner sobre la mesa la posibilidad de expedir la Ley de Víctimas y Restitución de Tierras hizo que el tema de la distribución volviera a alcanzar la dimensión de los debates originales de las reformas agrarias. Esta discusión cobró inusitada relevancia en el proceso de paz del Gobierno colombiano con la guerrilla de las FARC-EP. Con este contexto, Propiedad sobre la tierra en Colombia surge de las preocupaciones en medio de la transición a la paz con la guerrilla y une dos debates que, a pesar de estar estrechamente relacionados, suelen abordarse por separado en la literatura académica: las discusiones sobre la distribución de la tierra y las reformas agrarias, por un lado, y los debates sobre la propiedad desde la teoría del derecho, por otro.
