Legal experiments have followed these trends, in some cases using legal instruments to guarantee classical, civil and political rights, and in others demanding radical transformation of existing legal structures. This book traces these debates across the key topics of: economic development and foreign investment; property; resource and power distribution in terms of gender and social policy. Drawing on a wide range of literature, the book adds complexity and color to our understanding of these themes in Latin America.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis insightful exploration of comparative law within Latin America provides the tools needed to understand legal transformation in the region, and as such will be of interest to researchers within law, political sociology, development and Latin American studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helena Alviar Garc?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036777612X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367776121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.28d","brand":"Helena Alviar Garc?","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070720897279,"sku":"9780367776121","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6533a161-8d84-42f3-bda4-f4eecdb3422a.jpg?v=1685431975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legal-experiments-for-development-in-helena-alviar-garca-9780367776121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
