Fragilidade Institucional, América Latina, Direito ComparadoAbstract
This book review was prepared with the aim of analyzing the work Understanding institutional weakness: power and Design in Latin American Institutions, organized by the authors Daniel Brinks, Steven Levitsky, and Maria Murillo, published in 2019 by the University of Cambridge Press, from the new institutional perspective for Law, which understands institutions as “rules of the game”. The analysis focuses on the potential of the methodological contribution of the typologies elaborated by the authors to understand the institutional weaknesses in Latin American experiences, as a result of a political strategy, which has repercussions on the way the law is de facto implemented.
