Tags:

This book discusses institutional and law reforms in Mexico necessary to develop the rule of law in a context of democratic, social and economic transformations. Contemporary Mexico faces a complex violence and insecurity crisis related to high levels of impunity and the lack of an effective rule of law. These weaknesses of the rule of law have a multidimensional character and involve the elements of institutional design, the particular content of the laws, particularities of political competition and culture of legality in a country with deep social inequalities. The chapters are organized in four sections: 1) The concept of the Rule of Law and its measurement 2) Explaining the fragility of the Rule of Law in Mexico 3) Structural reforms and its implementation challenges 4) Social exclusion and culture of legality.The book is useful for decision-makers, civil servants, consultants, scholars, lecturers, and students related with public policy, rule of law, sociology of law, legislative studies and practice, impunity, and political philosophy areas.
