ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews some of the literature on the culture of noncompliance with rules in Latin America. It shows its originality in comparative terms, and classifies it into three different perspectives, which encompass most of what has been produced in Latin America on this subject. This account is both an effort to present a general view of the Latin American works on noncompliance with rules, and a product of the authors own academic reflections on this subject (García Villegas 2009a, 2011, 2014). Afterwards, different ways have been suggested in which the academic studies on noncompliance in Latin America can shed light on some of the problems that the globalized world is facing up today.
