This comprehensive book delves into the intricate dynamics of legal debates on economic development and modernization in Latin America since independence. It offers a nuanced portrayal of the competing concepts of modernization theory and Dependency Theory, which play out within the realm of legal transformation. Some legal analysts view law as a closed, formal, rational system, while others emphasize its inseparable connection with economic, social, and political change. Legal experiments have followed these trends, with some seeking to guarantee classical civil and political rights through legal instruments, while others advocate for radical transformations of existing legal structures.
The book traces these debates across key topics such as economic development and foreign investment, property rights, resource and power distribution in terms of gender and social policy. Drawing on a wide range of literature, it adds depth and complexity to our understanding of these themes in Latin America. This insightful exploration of comparative law within Latin America is valuable for researchers in law, political sociology, development, and Latin American studies, as it provides the necessary tools to comprehend legal transformation in the region.
