| Summary: | This article analyzes the relation between the rule of law, the administration of justice, democratic values and democratic governance in Peru. This theme is unavoidable since most contemporary works in political science (discussing and evaluating the democratic principles of regimes) acknowledge the prevailing role of the legal system – effectiveness, consistency, equal protection, capacity to enforce the law – on the trajectory of regimes (O’Donnell 2004; Morlino and Diamond 2005; Levine and Molina 2007). The first section of the present work considers the merits of a political analysis of the development of law and laws from the standpoint of their impact on society. The second section presents and interrogates diverse interpretations of the concept rule of law in the fields of democratization and democratic governance. This section also opens a discussion of approaches to the rule of law and to the functioning of democratic regimes. The third and final section addresses the legal situation in contemporary Peru. |
