This interdisciplinary collection examines the significance of constitutions in setting the terms and conditions upon which market economies operate. With some important exceptions, most notably from the tradition of Latin American constitutionalism, scholarship on constitutional law has paid negligible attention to questions of how constitutions relate to economic phenomena. A considerable body of literature has debated the due limits of the exercise of executive and legislative power, and discussions about legitimacy, democracy, and the adjudication of rights (civil and political, and socioeconomic) abound, yet scant attention has been paid by constitutional lawyers to the ways in which co...
Designing Indicators for a Plural Legal World engages with the role of quantification in law, and its impact on law and development and judicial reform. It seeks to examine how different institutions shape and influence the making and use of legal indicators globally. This book sheds light on the limitations of existing quantification tools, which measure rule of law due to their lack of engagement with contexts and countries in the Global South. It offers an alternative framework for measurement, which moves away from an institutional look at rule of law, to a bottom up, user centered approach that places importance on the lives that people lead, and the challenges that they face. In doing so, it offers a way of thinking about access to justice in terms of human capabilities.
This invaluable and timely book provides a comprehensive “Conflict Prevention and Friction Analysis (CPFA) Model” for researching comparative law in our increasingly technology-led legal and economic order. It provides an in-depth examination of practical case studies, showcasing the real-world application of quantitative methods and theoretical approaches for analysing legal issues.
Challenges the distorted hegemonic accounts of Latin American law and reveals their geopolitical and economic consequences in the world today.
La creciente importancia que tiene la regulación en las agendas de políticas públicas nacionales y transnacionales se debe, en buena medida, a la rápida difusión global del modelo de Estado regulador. Sin embargo, veinticinco años después de que la Constitución Política adoptara la regulación como la herramienta para gobernar la economía, es poco lo que sabemos sobre la forma como funciona, no solo en las normas jurídicas sino también en la práctica, el Estado regulador colombiano.Los artículos reunidos en esta obra, por una parte, sugieren que antes de ofrecer fórmulas y soluciones debemos entender, a través de análisis con¬textuales capaces de reflejar las particularidades de los regímenes regula¬dores locales, la dimensión de la crisis del Estado regulador en Colombia. Y, por otra, ofrecen algunas lecciones que el diseñador de políticas públicas puede tener en cuenta al momento de avanzar hacia un fortalecimiento del Estado regulador en Colombia.
En Colombia se presentan diferentes posturas doctrinarias respecto de la viabilidad de interpretar las disposiciones de antimonopolios bajo las reglas de origen norteamericano denominadas como Regla per se y Regla de la Razón. Por esto el Departamento de Derecho Económico de la Universidad Externado de Colombia presenta a la comunidad académica las reflexiones académicas expuestas en el "evento" ¿Regla per se y Regla de la Razón?: interpretación de las normas de competencia". En esta oportunidad un grupo destacado de expertos analizó, con detenimiento y rigor académico la evolución conceptual y los aspectos teóricos y prácticos de dichas reglas, con el propósito de hacer un aporte doctrinario sobre este tema y estudiar la viabilidad o no de su aplicación en el contexto nacional, así como el proceso que con dichas reglas se ha surtido en la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, autoridad única de competencia colombiana.
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 vi...
This Handbook will be an indispensable reference work for practitioners and scholars, as well as for those in an enforcement environment.
In the past few years, Latin American countries have taken giant steps to reposition their competition authorities in the global antitrust arena, granting them much greater autonomy both domestically and internationally. This is an updated edition of the first book that offered an in-depth analysis of this complex scenario. The first part of the book includes more general chapters written by leading experts on a variety of relevant topics analyzed at a regional level such as the issues emerging with the digital economy and on the special field of the information and communications technology industry, as well as chapters on broad regional trends, on the working of competition law in countrie...
Neoliberalism has been studied as a political ideology, an historical moment, an economic programme, an institutional model, and a totalising political project. Yet the role of law in the neoliberal story has been relatively neglected, and the idea of neoliberalism as a juridical project has yet to be considered. That is: neoliberal law and its interrelations with neoliberal politics and economics has remained almost entirely neglected as a subject of research and debate. This book provides a systematic attempt to develop a holistic and coherent understanding of the relationship between law and neoliberalism. It does not, however, examine law and neoliberalism as fixed entities or as philoso...
