Envisioning Reform by Linn Hammergren Pdf

Judicial reform became an important part of the agenda for development in Latin America early in the 1980s, when countries in the region started the process of democratization. Connections began to be made between judicial performance and market-based growth, and development specialists turned their attention to &“second generation&” institutional reforms. Although considerable progress has been made already in strengthening the judiciary and its supporting infrastructure (police, prosecutors, public defense counsel, the private bar, law schools, and the like), much remains to be done. Linn Hammergren&’s book aims to turn the spotlight on the problems in the movement toward judicial reform in Latin America over the past two decades and to suggest ways to keep the movement on track toward achieving its multiple, though often conflicting, goals. After Part I&’s overview of the reform movement&’s history since the 1980s, Part II examines five approaches that have been taken to judicial reform, tracing their intellectual origins, historical and strategic development, the roles of local and international participants, and their relative success in producing positive change. Part III builds on this evaluation of the five partial approaches by offering a synthetic critique aimed at showing how to turn approaches into strategies, how to ensure they are based on experiential knowledge, and how to unite separate lines of action.

International Courts in Latin America and the Caribbean by Salvatore Caserta Pdf

This book explores the foundations and evolution of the four Latin American and Caribbean regional economic courts. It argues that local socio-political factors are often the decisive factor in influencing the direction of these Courts, rather than the formally delegated functions they were assigned when established.

Crime and Violence as Development Issues in Latin America and the Caribbean by Robert L. Ayres Pdf

Crime and violence have emerged in recent years as major obstacles to development objectives in Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. The paper explicates an agenda for future work that may assist LAC countries by discussing 'policy domains' where action is required. Such domains include reducing urban poverty, targeting efforts on 'at-risk' groups, building or rebuilding social capital, strengthening municipal capacity for combating crime and violence, and reforming the criminal justice system.

The Politics Of Justice And Justice Reform In Latin America by Linn A. Hammergren Pdf

The Politics of Justice and Justice Reform in Latin America offers an introduction to the traditional roles and operations of Latin American justice systems and the origins, objectives, and potential of contemporary reform efforts. Its detailed focus on the Peruvian experience is complemented by shorter case studies on Colombia, El Salvador, and Costa Rica and comparative examples from numerous other countries. It views justice reform as both a technical and political process, demonstrating how evolving understandings in both areas have increased conflicts over the limits and direction of future change.

Judicial Reform in Latin American Courts by Edgardo Buscaglia Pdf

This paper delineates a methodology to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the judicial sectors. It accounts for some of the main obstacles to a well-functioning judiciary and how to assess which reforms may assist in alleviating these obstacles. In addition, it provides a methodology by which to assess the impact ofjudicial reform programs being implemented in a country. Specifically, this paper develops a quantitative framework within which the efficiency and equity of a judicial system can be assessed. The experiences of the judicial systems in Argentina and Ecuador are analyzed within this framework as case examples. Part I of this paper provides a descriptive analysis of the problem of delays in resolving cases in the judiciary. Part II describes the main factors associated with the time to disposition of a case in the two case studies. As a result, Reform programs based on these factors should lead to an improvement in the functioning of the judicial system. Part III develops benchmarks based on standard quality control techniques for the resolution of cases. The benchmarks can serve as performance indicators for the resolution of specific types of cases. In addition, such benchmarks permit the monitoring and evaluation of how judicial reform programs affect the time to resolve a case.

Law and Employment by James J. Heckman,Carmen Pages Pdf

Law and Employment analyzes the effects of regulation and deregulation on Latin American labor markets and presents empirically grounded studies of the costs of regulation. Numerous labor regulations that were introduced or reformed in Latin America in the past thirty years have had important economic consequences. Nobel Prize-winning economist James J. Heckman and Carmen Pagés document the behavior of firms attempting to stay in business and be competitive while facing the high costs of complying with these labor laws. They challenge the prevailing view that labor market regulations affect only the distribution of labor incomes and have little or no impact on efficiency or the performance of labor markets. Using new micro-evidence, this volume shows that labor regulations reduce labor market turnover rates and flexibility, promote inequality, and discriminate against marginal workers. Along with in-depth studies of Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Jamaica, and Trinidad, Law and Employment provides comparative analysis of Latin American economies against a range of European countries and the United States. The book breaks new ground by quantifying not only the cost of regulation in Latin America, the Caribbean, and in the OECD, but also the broader impact of this regulation.
