“…El rasgo común de estas reformas fue el objetivo de implementar sistemas adversariales en la justicia penal. Se ha denominado a estas reformas, fruto del liderazgo mundial estadounidense, la "revolución del debido proceso" (Vogler, 2005). Estas reformas contaron con el apoyo financiero de organizaciones financieras internacionales como el Banco Mundial y el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, y de agencias de cooperación como usaiD, la Sociedad Alemana para la Cooperación Técnica, la Fundación Konrad Adenauer y el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo, entre otros.…”

En las últimas décadas se ha presenciado globalmente el surgimiento de un populismo penal de la mano del miedo al delito. Este fenómeno ha adquirido características especiales en los países del Sur Global, en dónde la sensación de inseguridad se ha agravado por la ineficacia de las agencias estatales encargadas de lidiar con el delito. La corrupción y el abuso policial vuelven el populismo penal en el Sur Global aún más peligroso que en los países del Norte Global. En este contexto, el rol de control de legalidad sobre el accionar policial que ejerce en forma indirecta la justicia penal, y en especial de los jueces, es muy importante; sin embargo, la ineficacia de la justicia penal limita su intervención. Aún más, reformas que buscaron mejorar su eficacia han limitado su capacidad de controlar los procedimientos policiales. En este artículo se compara el rol que cumplen los jueces en casos penales en la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina) y Metro Manila (Filipinas). El análisis comparativo demuestra que, en ambos casos, la situación es preocupante. Los jueces han perdido el liderazgo en las políticas de castigo del delito y su rol de contralor de la legalidad de las prácticas policiales está seriamente debilitado.

“…But British and French imperialism was even more significant. In the first broad wave of jury transplantation, the British Empire brought the English‐style common law jury along with its British legal system to the many lands that it conquered (Park ; Vidmar ; Vogler ). The British Empire exported and imposed trial by jury along with the common law legal system.…”

“…In contrast, in other colonies, such as Nigeria, Zanzibar, Kenya, and Southern Rhodesia, the jury trial was typically reserved for Europeans rather than Africans (Vogler :224–25). Once these colonies achieved independence, the new nations rejected British law and the institution of the jury that had been imposed upon them during colonial times (Vogler , ). These countries fit the pattern of rejection that Miller (:847–49) has identified as common for externally‐dictated legal transplants.…”

“…Previous comparative studies of criminal procedures have explored the convergence of criminal procedures toward the adversarial model (Vogler 2005), and the reception of international fundamental rights and freedoms in the criminal process around the globe (Brants and Franken 2009). From a cultural approach, Garapon and Papadopoulos (2003) analysed the political function of criminal procedures, and particularly on the trial hearing, in the common-law jurisdictions, in contrast with the state-centred approach of French courts that prioritise substantive law.…”

“…Argentina, as has been the case with most Latin American countries, started to reform its criminal procedures after the transition to democracy in the early 1980s. Vogler (2005) defined these reforms toward an adversarial system as a "due process revolution", caused by the American leadership. The hundred-year-old criminal procedure codes in force in the region were labelled "inquisitorial" and were identified with an authoritarian culture.…”

Abstract:The literature on comparative law has a long and robust tradition, but studies comparing courts and judicial systems are scarce. Comparative studies in the Global South, following Shapiro's institutional approach, have aimed to measure the involvement of courts in politics by assessing the power of the judiciary in society, the level of judicial independence, and their role in the context of the judicialization of politics. The focus was on the high courts, including either Constitutional or Supreme Courts. Criminal courts have not received similar attention despite the influence of their everyday decisions on people's lives and their perception of the judicial system. This article argues that developing a comparative approach for criminal courts in the Global South is needed to help understand the role they play in the development of the rule of law and democratic life. This comparative study helps understand the impact of judicial reform programmes in the Global South. These reforms, inspired by a neoliberal paradigm, have focused on improving the efficiency of the courts. The reforms have promoted managerial techniques detrimental to the standards of due process. Any assessment of the impact of the reforms on the courts in the Global South should start by recognising the widely differing settings under which they operate. This context is characterised by serious economic constraints, such as a lack of material and human resources, and a democratic deficit legacy from the past authoritarian regimes, including widespread police abuse and corruption. Given this context, the role of the courts in ensuring due process and the legality of police procedures is crucial. The impact of the judicial reforms promoting managerial rationality in recent decades must be analysed. To examine the role courts are playing in criminal matters, two cases were explored where courts have undergone extensive judicial reforms, Argentina and the Philippines.
