Legal culture in the age of globalization This volume of essays examines how the legal systems of the chief countries of Latin America and Mediterranean EuropeâArgentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, France, Italy, and Spainâchanged in the last quarter of the 20th century. Through essays that provide a wealth of data on the courts and the legal profession in these countries, the book attempts to relate changes in the operation of the legal systems to changes in the political and social history of the societies in which they are embedded. The details vary, in accordance with the particular history and structure of the countries, but there are also key commonalities that run through all of the stories: democratization, globalization, and changes in the legal order that seem to be worldwide; more power to courts; a growing legal profession; and the entry of women into what was once a masculine club. http://books.google.com/books?id=wEMUKyPTE9AC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Latin+Europe#PPA1,M1Latins and Romans

“As his journey progresses, Guevara’s voice seems to deepen, to darken, colored by what he witnesses in his travels.

“Our film is about a young man, Che, falling in love with a continent and finding his place in it.” —Walter Salles, director of “The Motorcycle Diaries.”
