Gender-Based Violence in the Global South
This book amplifies the different voices and experiences of those facing gender-based violence (GBV) in the Global South. It explores the localised ways in which marginalised individuals design modes of coping with and address GBV, including cultural interpretations, and artistic and faith-based expressions. The book examines GBV triggers, prevalence, and societal impacts while referring to community, national, and regional mobilisation to deal with the phenomenon in its various manifestations, including physical, psychological, political, domestic, and public violence. It explores issues related to women’s negotiations with the patriarchal underpinnings of GBV; the role of the law and his...
Evading the Patronage Trap
Why have Latin American democracies proven unable to confront the structural inequalities that cripple their economies and stymie social mobility? Brian Palmer-Rubin contends that we may lay the blame on these countries’ systems of interest representation, which exhibit “biased pluralism,” a system in which the demands of organizations representing economic elites—especially large corporations—predominate. A more inclusive model of representation would not only require a more encompassing and empowered set of institutions to represent workers, but would also feature spaces for non-eliteproducers—such as farmers and small-business owners to have a say in sectoral economic policies...
Law and Society in Latin America
Over the past two decades, legal thought and practice in Latin America have changed dramatically: new constitutions or constitutional reforms have consolidated democratic rule, fundamental innovations have been introduced in state institutions, social movements have turned to law to advance their causes, and processes of globalization have had profound effects on legal norms and practices. Law and Society in Latin America: A New Map offers the first systematic assessment by leading Latin American socio-legal scholars of the momentous transformations in the region. Through an interdisciplinary and comparative lens, contributors analyze the central advances and dilemmas of contemporary Latin A...
Labor Conflict and Capitalist Hegemony in Argentina
Labor Conflict and Capitalist Hegemony in Argentina delves into the dynamics of labor conflict during a decisive moment in the history of Neoliberalism and its crisis. How did workers react to labor flexibilization, market reforms and massive layoffs? In what way were employers able to keep hold of industrial hegemony during the crisis of Neoliberalism? This book explores these questions from a Marxian approach on peripheral capitalist countries with the aim of contributing to a new conceptualization of labor relations, labor history and collective class action. The analysis focuses on the automotive industry in Argentina between 1990 and 2007 although framed in broader temporal dynamics. La...
Justicias indígenas y Estado
Esta obra analiza crítica y originalmente las políticas multiculturales neoliberales que se han aplicado en el campo jurídico con relación a los pueblos indígenas durante más de una década en México y Guatemala.

Son estudios con validez y relevancia continental, aunque su tema central sean las realidades de México y de Guatemala. “¿Las políticas de reconocimiento de los...

This multidisciplinary book examines the potential of economic and social rights to contest adverse impacts of neoliberalism on human wellbeing.
Geopolitics and Decolonization
Gathering researchers from or towards Global South epistemologies, this book enriches the debate on crucial questions for liberation in the South and the improvement of South relations. It argues that coloniality and colonialism are not outdated phenomena of the historical past, but contemporary marks that remain repressed. The dominance of Eurocentric paradigm in the social sciences explains the long-lasting detachment between thinkers and politicians from the Global South, which have been historically presented according to their respective relations with the West (Europe and North America). The dialogue on common problems and challenges to people and societies in the South, largely derived from their colonial past and condition, is still sparing. This book actively promotes and demonstrates the value of intercultural dialogue and debate amongst voices from within the Global South on issues to do with decoloniality, cultural rights, law and politics.
Mexikos junge Demokratie in der Krise
Katharina Wagner analysiert umfassend die demokratische Qualität Mexikos und deren Entwicklung im Zeitverlauf. Durch den Vergleich der Präsidentschaften von Fox, Calderón und Peña Nieto untersucht sie, wie sich die demokratische Qualität Mexikos seit der Transition zur Demokratie im Jahr 2000 verändert hat und in welchen Bereichen demokratische Defekte zu verorten sind. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt hierbei auf den Auswirkungen des Drogenkrieges und des Gewaltkontextes. Die Autorin setzt sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf subnationaler Ebene (Chiapas, Chihuahua und Michoacán) an und ermöglicht hierdurch eine umfassende und valide Profilzeichnung der Demokratie. Die Demokratiemessung erfolgt anhand einer auf den spezifischen Kontext Mexikos angepassten 15-Felder-Matrix der Demokratie.
Une anthropologie juridique des droits de l'homme
Les sociétés indo-océanes, coloniales et postcoloniales, plurielles, en mouvement constant, sont propices à l'observation de la diversité et à la multiplicité des figures du droit, explicites ou cachées, qui illustrent l'extrême variété de la condition humaine. Cette condition humaine, le droit la retrace certainement, mais jamais plus toutefois que sous la forme d'une ombre projetée. De surcroît, l'immensité des champs que la règle de droit est amenée, dans l'espace et le temps, à recouvrir est indiscernable. L'ouvrage met en évidence des productions juridiques indo-océanes, jugées originales et représentatives d'une pratique sociale ou culturelle. Un canevas relie cell...
