Comparative studies can reveal much about how law is formed out of social reality and political power by exploring these interactions in different national contexts. In this work Mauricio García-Villegas compares ideas about law and society in France and the United States, demonstrating different approaches to socio-political legal studies. Using the interdisciplinary tools of the sociology of law, critical legal theory, and socio-legal studies, García-Villegas builds up an insightful overview of what constitutes law and society theory and practice in France and the United States. He brings together diverse perspectives and practices that generally do not communicate well with one another, as is often the case between the critical theory of law of jurists and the legal sociology of sociologists. This study will allow readers to understand the sociology of law in a comparative perspective and sets out a new research agenda for the field of socio-political legal studies.

La cultura del incumplimiento de reglas en América Latina se remonta a los tiempos de la colonia. Desde entonces, escritores, pensadores y gobernantes se han referido a la inobservancia de reglas y han visto en ella un obstáculo para el desarrollo social y político de los países. Este libro intenta analizar en profundidad esta cultura del desacato de reglas, a través de dos estrategias: una serie de investigaciones empíricas sobre incumplidores y una caracterización de seis tipos de personajes incumplidores: vivos, rebeldes, arrogantes, taimados, déspotas y restauradores, así como de los contextos en los que actúan y de las implicaciones negativas de sus comportamientos.
