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.

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.

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.
