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. 410 0$aCambridge studies in law and society. 606 $aLaw$zLatin America$xPhilosophy 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zLatin America 606 $aCourts$zLatin America 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aJustice, Administration of 615 0$aCourts 676 $a349.8 702 $aCouso$b Javier$f1964- 702 $aHuneeus$b Alexandra$f1967- 702 $aSieder$b Rachel 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792591603321 996 $aCultures of legality$91086837 997 $aUNINA
