Corruption in Latin America
This book is the newest and one of the very few existing examinations of the full nature of corruption throughout Central and South America. In detailed chapters written by experts with extensive in-country experience, it reveals the political and economic roots and consequences of corruption in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. The editor’s introduction and conclusion texts synthesize their work and provides an over-arching view of corrupt practices and anti-corruption initiatives throughout Latin America. Corruption in Latin America shows the extent to which corrupt practices engulf each of the countries discussed, the involvement of political and corporate entities in the pursuit of ill-gotten gains, and the drag on development caused by corruption in each political entity. The book will be of interest for social scientists, political actors and social activists involved in the fight against corruption in Latin America by providing in-depth analyses of the topic and discussing how best to pursue anti-corruption efforts through civil society actions, judicial endeavors, legal shifts, or elections.
Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race
In recent years, Peru has transformed from a war-torn country to a global high-end culinary destination. Connecting chefs, state agencies, global capital, and Indigenous producers, this “gastronomic revolution” makes powerful claims: food unites Peruvians, dissolves racial antagonisms, and fuels development. Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race critically evaluates these claims and tracks the emergence of Peruvian gastropolitics, a biopolitical and aesthetic set of practices that reinscribe dominant racial and gendered orders. Through critical readings of high-end menus and ethnographic analysis of culinary festivals, guinea pig production, and national-branding campaigns, this work explores the intersections of race, species, and capital to reveal links between gastronomy and violence in Peru.

Identity and Diversity on the International Bench
International courts and tribunals hold the power to decide on questions involving sovereignty over territory, grave human rights violations, international crimes, or millions of euros' worth of economic interests. Judges and arbitrators are the 'faces' and arguably the drivers of international adjudication. Yet certain groups tend to be overrepresented on international benches, while others remain underrepresented. Although international courts and tribunals differ in their institutional make-up and functions, they all rely in essence on the judgement of a group of individuals, each with their own background and experience. Even if adjudicators' identity is not the only, and may not be the ...

AUTOTUTELA PRIVADA NO DIREITO BRASILEIRO
O livro examina a autotutela. Na verdade, o livro trata da autotutela privada, aquela exercida pelo particular. Diante da autoexecutividade dos atos administrativos, pode-se dizer que o Poder Público exerce autotutela, mas não é a essa autotutela que se refere Rinaldo no trabalho ora publicado.
Das internationale Privatrecht von Peru
English summary: Martin Sohngen provides a systematic and comprehensive study of Peruvian international private law. Real 'field research' permitted him to analyze approx. 50 decisions, several of which have not been available up to now. He deals with conflict of laws provisions and the recognition of foreign judgments. The author shows the considerable extent to which there are differences between actual case law and the civil code. The numerous international treaties ratified by Peru have no significance in court, and the courts only apply foreign law that has been provided by the litigants. In the end, the author confirms reciprocity pursuant to German standards for the recognition of for...
Tribunal Constitucional y Estado Democrático Vol. II
En nuestro país existen problemas que necesitan soluciones serias y estructurales, es por eso que las instituciones nacionales requieren realizar reflexiones críticas sobre temas sociales, en general y temas constitucionales, en particular; así como también proponer una serie de soluciones urgentes. Asimismo, vemos como la doctrina iuspositivista tradicional no ha estado a la altura del proceso democrático que hemos tenido como país a lo largo de nuestra historia republicana hasta la actualidad, no llegando a comprender en toda su dimensión el rol del Tribunal Constitucional. Es por ello, que la tutela de los derechos fundamentales y el equilibrio de poderes son tareas postergadas por...
