GUERRERO SALGADO, Efrén  e  CEDENO, Camila. What do the quoters quote?: niches of knowledge in the Inter-American System for the protection of human rights. Iuris Dictio [online]. 2017, n.20, pp.35-52. ISSN 2528-7834.  https://doi.org/10.18272/iu.v20i20.917.

The present document seeks to examine, through a qualitative-quantitative study based on the analysis of social networks, the epistemic niches in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, focusing on the last session period, which, according to incremental theories, has the most advanced jurisprudence. It seeks to verify, with the use of social network analysis, if the choice of sentences to support the decisions of the Inter-American Court obeys a rational choice or if it is a thematic decision. The text concludes by explaining that, although there are elements that show a rational decision, there does not appear to be a main theme to jurisprudence, beyond the traditional expansion of rights; and that the possible connections between the cases obey elements of limited rationality.
