Lo local y lo global en el derecho público latinoamericano

Abstract This article introduces a symposium devoted to exploring some of the multiple configurations, or assemblages, between the international and the local in Latin American public law. It proceeds from the premise that interactions between global and domestic legal orders are ubiquitous, yet have often been insufficiently captured in the region’s legal scholarship. It identifies three recurring biases in that scholarship: the persistence of the monism-dualism binary, the centrality of the Inter-American Human Rights System, and the predominant emphasis on the incorporation of its jurisprudence by domestic courts. The contributions brought together in this symposium seek to broaden that conversation through situated studies examining how international law —and, more broadly, global phenomena— are appropriated, transformed, resignified, and at times resisted within Latin American public law, which actors drive those processes, and what effects they produce.
