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 property; labor; transitional justice; social policy; and resource and power distribution in terms of gender. In doing so, the book adds complexity and color by introducing the themes with metaphors from the arts (literature, paintings, architecture, cinema). 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Law and economic development $z Latin America. 650 7 $a Law and economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993898 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 776 08 $i Online version: $a Alviar Garcia, Helena. $t Legal experiments for development in Latin America $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9780429341069 $w (DLC) 2020052988 830 0 $a Routledge studies in Latin American development. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020025112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A8E2A48CCF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
