Mexico: Facing the Challenges of Human Rights and Crime
This penetrating collection of papers, presents a wealth of detailed information on Mexico’s record in recent years in the realms of crime (especially drug trafficking), political corruption, and human rights abuses, and examines the links between these areas and Mexico’s well-known economic indicators. The authors, many of whom are Mexican, draw on a wide variety of domestic and international sources, including internal Mexican studies (both governmental and non-governmental), reports and studies from international organizations such as the United Nations and the Organization of American States, and reports from Human Rights Watch/Americas. Mexico: Facing the Challenges of Human Rights and Crime was sponsored by the International Human Rights Law Institute of DePaul University College of Law. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
Regional Development Banks in the World Economy
"Regional development banks (RDB) have become increasingly important in the world economy, but have also been relatively under-researched to date. This timely volume addresses this lack of attention by providing a comprehensive, comparative, and empirically informed analysis of their origins, evolution, and contemporary role in the world economy through to the second decade of the twenty-first century.

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
