Limits of Tolerance
History and Legal Norms
Contacts, Collisions and Relationships
A study of the relations between Britain and Chile during the Spanish American independence era (1806-1831). It focuses on the dynamic, unpredictable and changing nature of cultural encounters to cast doubt on the assumption that imperialism was their obvious outcome and to understand further nation-building processes.
A History of Chilean Literature
This book covers the heterogeneity of Chilean literary production from the times of the Spanish conquest to the present. It shifts critical focus from national identity and issues to a more multifaceted transnational, hemispheric, and global approach. Its emphasis is on the paradigm transition from the purportedly homogeneous to the heterogeneous.
Responsibility and Liability in the Context of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes by Sea
The term “hazardous wastes” covers a wide range of disused products and production wastes generated not only in industrial sectors, but also in all areas of everyday life. Hazardous wastes are to a large extent shipped by sea to third countries for recycling or disposal. While the procedural requirements for such movements are laid out in the 1989 Basel Convention, explicit rules of responsibility and liability for resulting damages are neither provided by the Basel Convention nor by other international conventions. The Liability Protocol to the Basel Convention of 1999 has not yet entered into force. This book examines the existing rules of responsibility and liability applying to States and private persons and outlines the conditions under which liability may be incurred. Subsequently, the advantages and shortcomings of the 1999 Liability Protocol are analyzed. Although this Protocol faces substantial political headwind, from a legal perspective it includes principally useful and reasonable approaches and should therefore be ratified.

La Armada de Chile: una historia de dos siglos
A través de la recolección de lo escrito por el vicealmirante Luis Uribe Orrego, Carlos López y por el capitán de navío Rodrigo Fuenzalida Bade sobre la historia naval de Chile, el autor abarca el tema desde una perspectiva diferente, tomando en cuenta el contexto político y la conducción político-estratégica de los conflictos bélicos protagonizados por la Armada en el siglo XIX. Al mismo tiempo, estudia nuevas fuentes que permiten modificar la visión sobre algunos acontecimientos, como el aporte de los pueblos originarios y de la etapa colonial a la creación de esta institución.
The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century
The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time ...
