The urgence and need for teaching comparative law in Latin America: Special reference to the situation in Ecuador

Authors

Abstract

Central countries doctrine of Western Europe and North America has evolved towards an interdisciplinary understanding of comparative law. Teaching and
research in Latin America has been off the debate and has become entrenched in the formal normativist conception related to the syntactic confrontation of the literal wording of legislative provisions in arbitrarily selected systems. This contribution proposes a comprehensive review of the academic approach in Ecuador requiring the necessary
distinction between micro and macro comparative law, the impact of technical translation, the criteria for the transplantation and reception of categories, as well as its internal evolution.
