backfire
 intransitive verb
 ser contraproducente
EN As a result, introduction of a rule of law in a Western sense may not only fail, but also, it could backfire: that is to say, some of the consequences of reliance on law as a method of social regulation may be negative.
GL Á vista disto, a introducción do estado de dereito en sentido occidental pode fracasar; e mesmo pode ser contraproducente: confiar na lei como método de regulación social igual ten consecuencias negativas.
