The Judicial Sector in Latin America and the Caribbean
"Professional analysis of essential elements of judicial reform, as provided in any country-specific review by the World Bank. As political and economic development continue, greater attention needs to be given to judicial reform. Basic elements of judicial reform include: guaranteeing judicial independence through changes in judicial budgeting, judicial appointment, and disciplinary systems; adopting procedural reforms; enhancing public access to justice; incorporating gender issues in the reform process; and redefining/expanding legal education and training"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Petitioning in the Atlantic World, c. 1500–1840
This book deals with one of the most pervasive ways by which people have addressed authority throughout history: petitioning. The book explores traditional practices and institutions, as well as the transformation of petitions as vehicles of popular politics. The ability or the right to petition was also a crucial element for the development and operation of early modern empires, playing a major role on the negotiated patterns of the Atlantic World. This book shows how petitions were used in Europe, America and Africa, by the governors and the governed, by the rich and the poor, by the colonists and the colonised and by the liberal and the reactionary groups. Broken down into three thematic parts, encompassing both in chronological and geographical scope, the book deepens our understanding of petitioning and its relation with ideas of consent and subjecthood, nationality and citizenship, political participation and democracy. This book provides a rare comparative platform for the study of a subject that has been receiving growing interest.
The Architecture and Cities of Northern Mexico from Independence to the Present
The states of Northern Mexico—Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Baja California Norte and Sur—have architecture, urbanism, and landscape design that offer numerous lessons in how to build well, but this constructed environment is largely undervalued or unknown. To make this architecture better known to a wide professional, academic, and public audience, this book presents the first comprehensive overview in either English or Spanish of the architecture, urban landscapes, and cities of Northern Mexico from the country’s emergence as a modern nation in 1821 to the present day. Profusely illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, maps...
Compendio de historia del derecho y del estado
Compendio de la historia del Derecho y del Estado constituye una labor de investigación histórica verdaderamente extraordinaria. Su mérito principal consiste en presentar una visión panorámica del pensamiento jurídico, filosófico y político en diversos periodos y descubrir en el espacio y en el tiempo el concepto del Derecho y del Estado, con base humanística. El autor, con criterio y científico, determina épocas, escuelas y tendencias; relaciona personajes y teorías, y considera los diversos factores sociales, económicos, políticos y filosóficos que intervienen en el desarrollo histórico del Derecho y del Estado. Por su contenido, este libro está dedicado a los alumnos de la Facultad de Derecho y para quienes estudian Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, así como para los que están en la carrera de Filosofía y Letras. Sin embargo, también puede ser aprovechado en otras carreras y resultará útil en los programas de estudio a nivel preparatoria.
Disclosing New Worlds
Argues that human beings are at their best not when they are engaged in abstract reflection, but when they are intensely involved in changing the taken-for-granted, everyday practices in some domain of their culture—that is, when they are making history. Disclosing New Worlds calls for a recovery of a way of being that has always characterized human life at its best. The book argues that human beings are at their best not when they are engaged in abstract reflection, but when they are intensely involved in changing the taken-for-granted, everyday practices in some domain of their culture—that is, when they are making history. History-making, in this account, refers not to wars and transfers of political power, but to changes in the way we understand and deal with ourselves. The authors identify entrepreneurship, democratic action, and the creation of solidarity as the three major arenas in which people make history, and they focus on three prime methods of history-making—reconfiguration, cross-appropriation, and articulation.
Derecho Procesal Penal. Un análisis Comparado.
La actual edición es un nuevo libro (no nueva edición). Lo que antes estaba en vigor ha cambiado. La legislación actual es novedosa y diferente a la anterior. Hoy, ha cambiado la organización de cada tribual y el sistema es diferente. Todo se inició a partir de un cambio a nivel constitucional en 2008, con cambios en 2015 y 2016. Prologa: José Ovalle Favela. La obra no se dedica exclusivamente a estudios de mera dogmática (simple explicación de artículos legales), pues incluye aportaciones teóricas y conceptuales. El nuevo objeto de conocimiento es analizado a partir de la ciencia construida. Incluyendo las aportaciones teóricas y conceptuales de los más grandes procesalistas, que dan forma al procesalismo actual, no simple procedimentalismo. La obra se caracteriza porque separa el proceso puramente penal del civil resarcitorio del daño. Mantiene el estándar de la dogmática procesal, explicando el ars iudicandi al amparo de la tradición jurídica mexicana, enriqueciéndola con una diversidad de ejemplos.

The Mexican Legal System
This reference guide to the laws and legal literature of Mexico has been designed carefully by a reference librarian for researchers who do not read or speak Spanish. This basic sourcebook provides answers to the questions that are asked most frequently: Which is the relevant code? Where can the text of the code be found? What secondary material is available? Which material is available in English? This up-to-date guide should be useful as a reference in college, university, law, government, and public libraries and in companies that do business with Mexico. It could also be used in courses dealing with Mexican law and business. An introduction briefly describes Mexico's legal system and provides some historical background. Then the bibliography points to primary and secondary material of importance and is annotated partially. Entries are organized under forty-one subject categories with subdivisions pointing to the laws, the sources for the text of the laws, secondary materials from periodicals, and books and monographs. All Spanish titles are given first in Spanish and then in English. An appendix gives a directory of publishers. Author and subject indexes are included.
