Systemic Violence of the Law
This book argues that International Investment Law system – IIL - was the result of a colonial project within a capitalist system that has been influenced by the developmentalism discourse and the neoliberal ideology, becoming an instrument that facilitated forms of systemic violence against Third World countries. In order to develop this argument, Enrique Prieto-Rios uses post-war critical thought, chiefly Fanon as interpreted by Lewis R Gordon, the works pursued by academics, part of the Caribbean Philosophical Association, the Institute for Global Law and Policy, the international law from below (southern perspectives), and critical economic thought— particularly the notable economic contributions of Ha-Joon Chang and Latin-American philosopher Enrique Dussel.
Indigenous Peoples and International Trade
An exploration of economic rights afforded Indigenous peoples in international law and their diffusion to international trade and investment instruments.
Teaching International Law
Teaching International Law is a topic of great importance in international law academia. In the past renowned international lawyers and research institutions have dealt with this matter. This book brings together a larger number of established international lawyers who not only present the state of the art of this discipline but also their own vision and perspective. Traditionally, teachers of international law had considerable influence on the development and the understanding of this subject. The international legal system has profoundly changed but in time of enormous challenges for the survivel of mankind the voice of the teachers should again be heard.

Latin American International Law in the Twenty-First Century
Latin America has been a pivotal site for influential and innovative developments in international law since the colonial era. Throughout much of the 20th century, Latin American politics were entangled with the political and economic interests of the United States. Today, as the global order shifts, scholars and legal practitioners are grappling with the current restructuring and potential transformation of international relations-and what this means for international law in the region. This collection of essays brings together a group of highly regarded scholars to present a broad survey of Latin America's approaches and contributions, historically and presently, to the field of internatio...
The Hidden History of International Law in the Americas
This book offers the first exploration of the deployment of international law for the legitimization of U.S. ascendancy as an informal empire in Latin America. This book explores the intellectual history of a distinctive idea of American international law in the Americas, focusing principally on the evolution of the American Institute of International Law (AIIL).
De Anacronismos y Vaticinios: Diagnóstico sobre las relaciones entre el derecho internacional y el derecho interno en Latinoamérica
El libro de anacronismos y vaticinios ofrece un diagnóstico sobre la forma como se conciben en la práctica judicial las relaciones entre el derecho internacional y el derecho interno en diversos ordenamientos de la región. Asi, en la primera parte de esta obra se recopilan diferentes estudios sobre las respuestas que los jueces de Boliva, Perú, Brasil, Guatemala y Argentina han dado a los problemas que resultan de la interacción entre los dos ordenamientos. En el segundo apartado se presenta un diagnóstico detallado en el que se da cuenta de la forma como la Corte Constitucional colombiana ha pretendido enfrentarse a las complejidades que resultan de la relación entre ambas esferas normativas. En esta segunda parte interesa demostrar que pese a la buena fama de nuestro juez constitucional en relación con estos asuntos, éste no nos ofrece respuestas claras a las diversas preguntas en torno a la interacción de estos dos ordenamientos.
International Investment Law and Arbitration from a Latin American Perspective
Zusammenfassung: The book brings to light how Latin American states have traditionally stood before the field of International Investment Law and Arbitration. It delves into their posture of resistance to critically examine how their perspective has gradually changed and how they have adapted and molded their investment agreements so as not to leave their position as players in the field of International Investment Law. Many Latin American states have appeared as defendants before international investment tribunals and some of these, like Venezuela, Bolivia or Ecuador, have denounced their international investment agreements. Deeming the law field as imbalanced, they have looked for alternat...

The Incoherence of Human Rights in International Law
Incoherence is a term that is all too often associated with the public international law regime. To a great extent, its incoherence is arguably a natural consequence of the fragmented nature of both the development and overall scope of the discipline. Despite significant achievements since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), a coherent human rights regime that is properly integrated with other branches of public international law is still lacking. This book explores this incoherent approach to human rights, including specific challenges that arise as a result of the creation and regulation of legal relationships between parties (state and non-state) that sit outside of the huma...
