International Criminal Law in Mexico
This book puts forward proposals for solutions to the current gaps between the Mexican legal order and the norms and principles of international criminal law. Adequate legislative measures are suggested for compliance with international obligations. The author approaches the book's subject matter by tracing all norms related to the prosecution of core crimes and contextualizing each of the findings with a brief historical and political account. Additionally, state practice is analyzed, identifying patterns and inconsistencies. This approach is new in offering a wide perspective on international criminal law in Mexico. Relevant legal documents are analyzed and annexed in the book, providing t...

Garantías del proceso debido y Unión Europea
La Unión Europea está asistiendo a la construcción, no sin dificultades de un Espacio Judicial Europeo. Varias decisiones-marco y varias directivas, así como la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos y del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, jalonan la interpretación y aplicación interna, que debe ser realizada en torno a las garantías del debido proceso. Ratificado el Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos, del ámbito del Consejo de Europa, el artículo 24 de la Constitución Española fue interpretado en conexión con el artículo 6 del mencionado Convenio como estándar mínimo, interpretado éste por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Una ingente juris...
Mexikos junge Demokratie in der Krise
Katharina Wagner analysiert umfassend die demokratische Qualität Mexikos und deren Entwicklung im Zeitverlauf. Durch den Vergleich der Präsidentschaften von Fox, Calderón und Peña Nieto untersucht sie, wie sich die demokratische Qualität Mexikos seit der Transition zur Demokratie im Jahr 2000 verändert hat und in welchen Bereichen demokratische Defekte zu verorten sind. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt hierbei auf den Auswirkungen des Drogenkrieges und des Gewaltkontextes. Die Autorin setzt sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf subnationaler Ebene (Chiapas, Chihuahua und Michoacán) an und ermöglicht hierdurch eine umfassende und valide Profilzeichnung der Demokratie. Die Demokratiemessung erfolgt anhand einer auf den spezifischen Kontext Mexikos angepassten 15-Felder-Matrix der Demokratie.
Lavagem de dinheiro no Direito Penal brasileiro e alemão
A obra constitui trabalho inédito e original, em que a autora, movida por singular espírito investigativo ingressa no complexo tema da Lavagem de dinheiro, efetuando valiosa abordagem de sua estrutura dogmática e seus principais problemas, a partir do método do Direito Penal Comparado. Nesse sentido, a autora observa os três níveis de estruturação da investigação jurídicopenal comparada. E aqui radica um dos seus principais méritos: a capacidade e habilidade no manejo do instrumental científico utilizado, de modo a observar rigorosamente os níveis de comparação. O problema central identificado pela autora radica em que a “regulamentação que se refere ao crime de lavagem d...
The Zapatista Movement and Mexico's Democratic Transition
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
The Europeanization of National Foreign Policies Towards Latin America
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
Individual Criminal Responsibility in International Law
Atrocities such as genocide or crimes against humanity are usually committed by a large number of perpetrators. Moreover, those who masterminded the crimes may not have actively participated. This book sets out how these people can be held responsible for their crimes by international criminal tribunals.
High-Risk Feminism in Colombia
High-Risk Feminism in Colombia documents the experiences of grassroots women’s organizations that united to demand gender justice during and in the aftermath of Colombia’s armed conflict. In doing so, it illustrates a little-studied phenomenon: women whose experiences with violence catalyze them to mobilize and resist as feminists, even in the face of grave danger. Despite a well-established tradition of studying women in war, we tend to focus on their roles as mothers or carers, as peacemakers, or sometimes as revolutionaries. This book explains the gendered underpinnings of why women engage in feminist mobilization, even when this takes place in a ‘domain of losses’ that exposes them to high levels of risk. It follows four women’s organizations who break with traditional gender norms and defy armed groups’ social and territorial control, exposing them to retributive punishment. It provides rich evidence to document how women are able to surmount the barriers to mobilization when they frame their actions in terms of resistance, rather than fear.
