Judicialization of Politics in Latin America
AvRachel Sieder,L. Schjoldenm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2011
461 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
During the last two decades the judiciary has come to play an increasingly important political role in Latin America. Constitutional courts and supreme courts are more active in counterbalancing executive and legislative power than ever before. At the same time, the lack of effective citizenship rights has prompted ordinary people to press their claims and secure their rights through the courts. This collection of essays analyzes the diverse manifestations of the judicialization of politics in contemporary Latin America, assessing their positive and negative consequences for state-society relations, the rule of law, and democratic governance in the region. With individual chapters exploring Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela, it advances a comparative framework for thinking about the nature of the judicialization of politics within contemporary Latin American democracies.
Gender Justice and Legal Pluralities

Gender Justice and Legal Pluralities: Latin American and African Perspectives examines the relationship between legal pluralities and the prospects for greater gender justice in developing countries. Rather than asking whether legal pluralities are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for women, the starting point of this volume is that legal pluralities are a social fact. Adopting a more anthropological approach to the issues of gender justice and women’s rights, it analyzes how gendered rights claims are made and responded to within a range of different cultural, social, economic and political contexts. By examining the different ways in which legal norms, instruments and discourses are being used to challenge or reinforce gendered forms of exclusion, contributing authors generate new knowledge about the dynamics at play between the contemporary contexts of legal pluralities and the struggles for gender justice. Any consideration of this relationship must, it is concluded, be located within a broader, historically informed analysis of regimes of governance.

Judicialization and Political Activism in Latin America

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
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.
Demanding Justice and Security
Indigenous Women and Legal Pluralities in Latin America
AvRachel Sieder
Häftad, Engelska, 2017
456 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Across Latin America, indigenous women are organizing to challenge racial, gender, and class discrimination through the courts. Collectively, by engaging with various forms of law, they are forging new definitions of what justice and security mean within their own contexts and struggles. They have challenged racism and the exclusion of indigenous people in national reforms, but also have challenged ‘bad customs’ and gender ideologies that exclude women within their own communities. Featuring chapters on Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico, the contributors to Demanding Justice and Security include both leading researchers and community activists. From Kichwa women in Ecuador lobbying for the inclusion of specific clauses in the national constitution that guarantee their rights to equality and protection within indigenous community law, to Me’phaa women from Guerrero, Mexico, battling to secure justice within the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for violations committed in the context of militarizing their home state, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to understand the struggle of indigenous women in Latin America.

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.

Los derechos humanos en las ciencias sociales
Una perspectiva multidisciplinaria

E-bok

62 kr
Läs direkt efter köp
Los autores de esta obra analizan los derechos humanos como relaciones de poder, discursos políticos y performativos, normas internacionales, organización institucional y movilización social. Esto nos obliga a pensar los derechos humanos desde diferentes ciencias sociales: la sociología política y jurídica, la antropología jurídica, las políticas públicas, la teoría de la democracia, entre otras. Desde la perspectiva que dan estas disciplinas, siguen vigentes muchas preguntas sobre los derechos humanos: ¿empoderan o desempoderan a los sujetos colectivos?, ¿ayudan a oponerse al poder criminal?, ¿mantienen o confrontan el estatu quo? ¿la universidad de los derechos constituye o se opone a la diversidad cultural?, ¿responden a la equidad social o se sirven de ella?, ¿cómo inciden en este debate las orientaciones de perspectiva de género y diversidad sexual?, ¿qué papel cumplen en la construcción de una memoria colectiva?, ¿cómo impactan en la normatividad internacional los movimientos sociales transnacionales?Esta edición, actualizada y ampliada, es un referente en la enseñanza y el estudio multidisciplinario de los derechos humanos. Su originalidad radica en que proporciona a estudiantes, profesores, investigadores, y activistas sociales una visión que plantea una agenda social, política, antropológica, internacionalista, feminista y de políticas públicas para los derechos humanos.

Una comprensión del derecho y su eficacia en América Latina exige conceptos distintos a las nociones hegemónicas de ""estado de derecho"" que han dominado los debates sobre el derecho, la política y la sociedad, y que reconozcan la diversidad de situaciones y contextos que caracterizan a la región.El Manual de derecho y sociedad en América Latina presenta un análisis de vanguardia de las áreas centrales de investigación teóricas y aplicadas en los estudios sociojurídicos en la región por figuras destacadas en el estudio del derecho y la sociedad de América Latina, América del Norte y Europa. Los autores sostienen que los estudios sobre América Latina han hecho contribuciones vitales a debates teóricos y metodológicos emergentes y de larga data sobre la relación entre el derecho y la sociedad.Los temas clave examinados incluyen: la brecha entre la ley escrita y la ley en acción; las implicaciones del pluralismo jurídico y la globalización jurídica; los legados de las experiencias de justicia transicional; formas emergentes de movilización sociojurídica y política; y debates sobre la relación entre lo legal y lo ilegal.El Manual de Derecho y Sociedad en América Latina establece nuevas agendas de investigación para estudios sociojurídicos interdisciplinarios y será de interés para quienes estudian derecho, sociología del derecho, política latinoamericana comparada, antropología jurídica y estudios de desarrollo.
