Description
Legal Pluralism in Latin America: Intercultural/Legalities, Interlegality, and Constitutional Transformations explores how different systems of law, state, indigenous, and community-based, coexist and interact in the region.
Over the past decades, Latin American constitutions have increasingly recognized indigenous peoples, collective rights, and intercultural approaches to justice. Yet these legal innovations have generated distinct configurations of interaction, producing complex overlaps, tensions, and negotiations between diverse normative orders.
This book examines why different forms of legal pluralism emerges, how they evolve, and develops a new framework for understanding their constitutional transformation and implications for democracy and rights in practice. It combines comparative empirical analysis with constitutional reforms, judicial decisions, and everyday practices of justice to show how intercultural/legalities and “interlegality” are constructed, contested, and transformed across different contexts. By comparing experiences from several countries (Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia), it highlights both the promises and challenges of incorporating plural legal orders into modern constitutional frameworks while offering a new explanation of how legal pluralism develops across Latin America.
