Acknowledgments
This volume could not have been completed without input and support from many individuals and institutions. Each of the individual chapters has doubtless benefited from its own set of supporters but we are all grateful for comments we received from participants in the conferences about the volume held at the University of Buenos Aires and FGV Direito SP, namely Marcelo Alegre, Thiago Amparo, Michelle Ratton Sanchez Badin, Paola Bergallo, Guillermo Cabanellas, André Rodrigues Corrêa, Martín Hevia, Nkatha Kabira, Patricio Kenny, Rafael Manóvil, Mario Schapiro, and Pablo Suárez. We are also grateful for the comments on the introductory chapter provided by John Goldberg.
This project has also benefited from the contributions of many research assistants over the years, including Alec Abitbol, Thaís Abreu, Cindy Arrivillaga, Beatriz Brichucka, Imani Jaoko, Maria Eduarda Lessa, Lucas Víspico, Gustavo Schneider, and Bruna Zanini.
New York University School of Law provided invaluable financial support, both for Kevin Davis’s research and the project as a whole. FGV São Paulo supported Mariana Pargendler’s research in connection with this project.
