Contents Repression, legality, and authoritarian regimes -- National security legality in Brazil and the Southern Cone in comparative perspective -- The evolution of national security legality in Brazil and the southern cone -- Political trials in Brazil : the continuation of a conservative tradition -- "Wartime" legality and radical adaptation in Chile -- Antilegalism in Argentina -- Defense lawyers in Brazil's military courts : redefining free speech, subversion, terrorism, and crime -- Transitional justice and the legacies of authoritarian legality -- The sword and the robe : military-judicial relations in authoritarian and democratic regimes -- The puzzle of authoritarian legality.
Summary "Political (In)Justice compares the legal aspects of political repression in three recent military regimes: Brazil (1964-1985), Chile (1973-1990), and Argentina (1976-1983). By focusing on political trials as a reflection of each regime's overall approach to the law, Anthony Pereira argues that the practice of each regime can be explained by examining the prior relationship between the judiciary and the military."--Jacket.
