Chile is often portrayed as the paradigmatic case of a smooth transition from dictatorship to democracy, sustained by high rates of economic growth.

Prejudikat är en av de viktigaste rättskällorna i svensk rätt. Det svenska rättssystemet är uppbyggt på så sätt att det, för brott- och tvistemålen, finns en gemensam högsta domstol, som är den instans som kan meddela avgöranden som blir vägledande för framtiden. Prejudikaten är formellt sett inte bindande, men i praktiken efterlevs dem i mycket stor utsträckning av tingsrätterna och hovrätterna. Precedent is one of the most important sources of law in the Swedish legal system. The Swedish Supreme Court is the highest instance in the Swedish legal system and it is also the court that can pronounce judgements that serve as guidance for the lower courts in the future. The precedents are not formally binding; they are however obeyed to a large extent. In November 2008 new regulations, regard
