La reforma a la justicia en Colombia: un movimiento amplio de globalizaciones hegemónicas

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the interests at play in reforming systems of global justice work to the detriment of the emancipatory potential of the liberal state, and consequently to the constitutional guarantees protecting minorities by judicial decree. Recent attempts at legal reform in Colombia, although conducted before the legislature, illustrate this phenomenon. The structure of this essay revolves around the following question: To what point does judicial reform in Latin America, in particular Colombia, favor hegemonic globalization, destabilizing the consolidation of democratic principles which seek to maximize the freedoms promised by the liberal state? Or: To what point do the privileges offered by the global capitalist market work to detriment the fundamental rights of excluded minorities and alternative world projects? The answers to these two large questions will be addressed throughout the text.
