Connections began to be made between judicial performance and market-based growth, and development specialists turned their attention to ?second generation? institutional reforms. Although considerable progress has been made already in strengthening the judiciary and its supporting infrastructure (police, prosecutors, public defense counsel, the private bar, law schools, and the like), much remains to be done. Linn Hammergren?s book aims to turn the spotlight on the problems in the movement toward judicial reform in Latin America over the past two decades and to suggest ways to keep the movement on track toward achieving its multiple, though often conflicting, goals. After Part I?s overview of the reform movement?s history since the 1980s, Part II examines five approaches that have been taken to judicial reform, tracing their intellectual origins, historical and strategic development, the roles of local and international participants, and their relative success in producing positive change. Part III builds on this evaluation of the five partial approaches by offering a synthetic critique aimed at showing how to turn approaches into strategies, how to ensure they are based on experiential knowledge, and how to unite separate lines of action. 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zLatin America 606 $aLaw reform$zLatin America 615 0$aJustice, Administration of 615 0$aLaw reform 676 $a347.8 700 $aHammergren$b Linn A.$01646154 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820623903321 996 $aEnvisioning reform$93993012 997 $aUNINA
