La idea es analizar los efectos de la interrelación entre dos formas específicas de globalización legal y su repercusión en el campo jurídico y social en ese país. Primero se estudiará la globalización desde arriba; se revisarán algunas medidas oficiales auspiciadas por la cooperación internacional que buscan aumentar el acceso a la justicia de la población indígena. Después se examinará la globalización desde abajo y se mostrará el carácter altamente globalizado de la reconstitución del derecho indígena en Guatemala. Asimismo, se analizarán, como ejemplos, las alcaldías indígenas y ONG de defensoría indígena, y se verá un caso de apropiación y reelaboración de la idea de &#8220;consulta previa&#8221; que aparece en el Convenio 169 de la OIT para oponerse a operaciones mineras en el occidente del país. Por último se argumenta que el enlace entre estas dos formas de globalización legal está creando espacios legales híbridos en Guatemala o ámbitos jurídicos locales y nacionales en los cuales existe una fuerte pugna sobre el contenido, la legitimidad y el ejercicio del &#8220;derecho&#8221;.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This article examines processes of legal globalization and the ways in which these affect indigenous rights in Guatemala. Its chief aim is to analyze the effects of the dynamic between two forms of legal globalization and its impact on the socio-legal field. First, the article examines reforms sponsored by international development agencies in Guatemala that seek to increase access to justice for the indigenous population: globalization &#8220;from above&#8221;. The second form of legal globalization &#8220;from below&#8221;, refers to the highly globalized manner in which indigenous law is being reconstituted in Guatemala. The indigenous mayoralties (alcaldías indígenas) and indigenous defenders NGOs are discussed as an example of this tendency, together with a case where the idea of &#8220;prior consultation&#8221; which appears in ILO Convention 169 was appropriated and reelaborated by local communities in the west of the country in order to oppose proposed mining concessions. The article concludes that the dynamic between legal globalization &#8220;from above&#8221; (judicial reform) and legal globalization &#8220;from below&#8221; (appropriation of instruments and rights discourses) is creating, in turn, hybrid legal spaces in Guatemala, local and national legal fields where the content, legitimacy and exercise of &#8220;law&#8221; is highly contested.]]></p></abstract>
