Mestizo International Law
The development of international law is conventionally understood as a history in which the main characters (states and international lawyers) and events (wars and peace conferences) are European. Arnulf Becker Lorca demonstrates how non-Western states and lawyers appropriated nineteenth-century classical thinking in order to defend new and better rules governing non-Western states' international relations. By internalizing the standard of civilization, for example, they argued for the abrogation of unequal treaties. These appropriations contributed to the globalization of international law. With the rise of modern legal thinking and a stronger international community governed by law, peripheral lawyers seized the opportunity and used the new discourse and institutions such as the League of Nations to dissolve the standard of civilization and codify non-intervention and self-determination. These stories suggest that the history of our contemporary international legal order is not purely European; instead they suggest a history of a mestizo international law.
Exile
Salvador is at the end of the line. A roman noir, really noir. A brilliant Argentinean, poet, ex-terrorist remembers some of his past as he tries to move forward, anguished, borderline. A tortured soul looking for a flower in the desert, writing sonnets in his most lucid moments. El Drama At war with the heavens the form's intent. Upon the dark-lit scene the comet's fall Etched on the player's masks of mineral, The chorus murmurs of occult portent. Beneath flowing costumes the tare latent, Red satin, purple silk, ethereal Lures and perfumes, the myth corporeal, Rites of passage abysmally silent. Therein the anguish; a single victim With brazen eyes and twisting hands would dare The vision of future devastation. Past wounded lips the rage of breath a whim, A floral logic, a smothered nightmare, A slow venom in the varnished fiction.

The Reinvention of Mexico
The Reinvention of Mexico explores the ideological conflict between neoliberalism and nationalism that has been at the core of economic and political development in Latin America since the mid-1980s. Grappling with a wide variety of issues generated by the dismantling of the statist economy and subsequent climate of market reforms, this timely volume shows that Mexico's transformation in the 1990s has broader implications for the study of nationalism. A welcome contribution to the literature on Latin American history, The Reinvention of Mexico offers important insight into national responses to globalization and the most appropriate vision of political economy in Latin America.
