The Latin American Casebook
Traditionally relegated because of political pressure and public expectations, courts in Latin America are increasingly asserting a stronger role in public and political discussions. This casebook takes account of this phenomenon, by offering a rigorous and up-to-date discussion of constitutional adjudication in Latin America in recent decades. Bringing to the forefront the development of constitutional law by Latin American courts in various subject matters, the volume aims to highlight a host of creative arguments and solutions that judges in the region have offered. The authors review and discuss innovative case law in light of the countries’ social, political and legal context. Each chapter is devoted to a discussion of a particular area of judicial review, from freedom of expression to social and economic rights, from the internalization of human rights law to judicial checks on the economy, from gender and reproductive rights to transitional justice. The book thus provides a very useful tool to scholars, students and litigants alike.
Pinochet's Economic Accomplices
With a focus on Chile, Pinochet’s Economic Accomplices: An Unequal Country by Force uses theoretical arguments and empirical studies to argue that focusing on the behavior of economic actors of the dictatorship is crucial to achieve basic objectives in terms of justice, memory, reparation, and non-repetition measures. This book makes visible a number of cases of economic complicity with the Chilean dictatorship and explains their links with the radical inequalities the country has today while proposing a theoretical framework for their study. Scholars of Latin American studies, history, sociology, economics, business, and human rights will find this book particularly useful.

El lobby feroz
Este libro indaga en el mundo que rotulamos, pero no conocemos. El lobby. Muestra los caminos que unen al poder con el poder. Evidencia los puentes entre el poder económico y el poder político de una forma clara y pedagógica. ¿Qué entendemos por lobby y qué es realmente? ¿Quiénes hacen lobby en Chile? ¿Es un intercambio de ideas, de influencia, de reparto de poder o derechamente de dinero? En un relato que parece salido de una serie de televisión política, somos testigos de las verdaderas negociaciones en el Parlamento. No las que vemos a través de los canales de televisión de la Cámara y del Senado, sino lo que ocurre en pasillos, en oficinas, en restoranes y en casas particul...
