En los últimos años, el Derecho y el sistema legal han sido puestos a prueba debido a los diversos desequilibrios y crisis que han tenido que enfrentar, como el proceso de globalización acelerado, las crisis financieras, la afectación grave al medio ambiente en forma de cambio climático y, recientemente, una pandemia. El objetivo de este libro es analizar el futuro del derecho en sociedades en transformación. En cuanto a la metodología, se utiliza un enfoque cualitativo, descriptivo, basado en investigación documental y estudios de casos. Se analizan diferentes ejemplos que evalúan aspectos considerados prioritarios en el Derecho, con el fin de extrapolar patrones que puedan ser afines al objetivo de generar una teoría que dé cuenta de este devenir, en relación con lo político, lo económico y lo social. Un Derecho que vuelva a ser considerado desde una variedad de disciplinas, con una multiplicidad de perspectivas y análisis y, sobre todo, que esté al servicio de las personas, la sociedad y la vida en el planeta.
In recent years we have witnessed a great increase in knowledge and technology worldwide which is available to all. However, despite this progress, we still have the same international institutions and mechanisms that we designed after the Second World War. These institutions are characterized by fragmentation, structural dysfunctions such as corruption, lack of resources and a lack of institutional capacity. The objective of this book is to evaluate the challenges facing international institutions and mechanisms in the protection of Economic, Social and Cultural rights. More specifically, it seeks to detect different patterns in two types of actors that include international financial institutions and institutions of the universal system, such as the UN Refugee Agency. The methodology includes a methodological design of comparative documentary research and case study evaluation. This includes an evaluation of several cases that analyze the role of international mechanisms and international financial institutions and their interaction with human rights. Trying to find common patterns in different structures and processes gives us some indication, an image of the type of problems these institutions currently face. The cases studied in this research reveal a series of challenges facing international mechanisms and institutions that range from strengthening organizational and strategic aspects to overall strengthening institutional capacity. However, the main challenge encountered is the development of intentional institutional reflexivity. This implies the adoption by the institutions of a new orientation to principles and values.
