Zusammenfassung

Lateinamerika ist eine Rechtslandschaft voller Widersprüche. In der Region mit ihrer reichen kulturellen und sozioökonomischen Vielfalt spiegeln auch die Rechtssysteme die einzigartigen sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Realitäten der einzelnen Staaten wider. Im Gegensatz zu dieser Vielfalt steht eine Gemeinsamkeit, ein iberisches Erbe in Sprache und Kultur und vor allem, aus rechtlicher Sicht, die gemeinsamen Wurzeln des Rechts, auf die die heutigen lateinamerikanischen Staaten zurückgegriffen haben. Das Handbuch spiegelt Vielfalt und Gemeinsamkeiten wider. Es konzentriert sich auf das Strafrecht, das Verfassungsrecht und das Völkerrecht, also auf die drei Bereiche, zu denen das lateinamerikanische Recht einen besonderen Beitrag leistet. Es ist für alle Personen und Institutionen von Interesse, die ihr Wissen über die rechtliche Vielfalt Lateinamerikas vertiefen wollen.
