PAEZ VIMOS, Pedro Martín. Analysis of lawfare and corruption in some countries of the region: Discussion on the political limits of Criminal Law. Derecho glob.

The lawfare, understood as the judicial war to satisfy strategic geopolitical and military ends, has begun a tough campaign in Latin America in recent years to annihilate the main political figures of the so-called progressive line. In this work, we will proceed to review the concept and context of lawfare in the region; its relationship with preventive and globalized criminal law; the link between corruption as a justification for the interventionism of lawfare within the framework of media criminology; some exemplary cases of lawfare in the region; and the impact that lawfare has on the democratic system.
