Abstract

Abstract This article tries to reflect on how jurists linked to the law schools at the University of Buenos Aires and the National Autonomous University of Mexico understood the problems of the Latin American representative system and the new features of the Western world's political crisis. It does so by focusing on the BA and PhD theses produced in both schools. We consider these written theses as privileged mirrors that reflect legal “cultures” and knowledge-transfer from an Atlantic perspective. They were also crucial mediums for new lawyers to reflect those changes in critical readings of European and American authors. Moreover, the article argues that these legal scholars played a key role in the circulation of legal and political knowledge in their local academic units.
