South American Policy Regionalism
“Regional cooperation exists, but looks different in the global South than in the European Union,” claim the contributors to South American Policy Regionalism, which offers novel theory, methods, and Latin American case studies of joint governance efforts in nine international policy arenas, ranging from illegal drugs to artificial intelligence. Contrasting three major schools of thought in international relations (highlighting power, institutions, and ideas), this book introduces the idea of international policy regionalism as a framework for informed debate about international policy-sector interactions in a regional space. Beginning with a conceptual approach applicable to any world r...
The Future of U.S. Empire in the Americas
With the rise of President Trump, many are coming to question where the United States (U.S.) is headed and, whether we might witness an imperial decline under Trump. Social scientists largely recognize the contemporary hegemonic position of the U.S. at the global level, but questions persist concerning the future of the U.S. Empire. With the Trump Administration at the helm, these questions are all the more salient. Drawing on the expertise of a panel of contributors and guided by Michael Mann’s model of power, this book critically interrogates the future of U.S. global power and provides insights on what we might expect from the U.S. Empire under Trump. Recognizing that U.S. imperial powe...
Trends in Latin American International Relations
Since the beginning of US President Donald Trump’s second term, the already volatile international order has faced increasingly disruptive developments and fundamental challenges. This volume outlines and analyses the role of Latin America as a whole, and of individual countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, in the new global (dis)order. The book is divided into three parts. The first contains contributions on regional dynamics in Latin America: What do global developments mean for Latin America’s development options? What are the consequences for Latin American regionalism? Why have regional democracy clauses repeatedly proved ineffective? The second part exam...
Mexico and the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda
This book explores how and why Mexico’s approach to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) implementation with the López Obrador administration is unsustainable and non-transformative, overshadowed by his vision of Mexico’s “Fourth Transformation”. Approached as a super mantra revolving around “Republican Austerity” and “First, the poor”, it provides original analysis of structural and conjunctural challenges facing Mexico as regards People-, Planet-, and Peace-centered development. The book reveals the promise “First, the poor” is inconsistent with data on Mexico’s poverty reduction (SDG1). Despite record-high spending on s...

El impacto de las negociaciones comerciales internacionales sobre la educación superior
La relación entre el comercio internacional y los derechos humanos es sin duda controversial.

En este escenario, este trabajo se dedica a analizar la relación entre las negociaciones comerciales en materia de servicios de educación superior en la Organización Mundial de Comercio (OMC) y las alteraciones en el marco legal de Argentina y Brasil respecto a la garantía del derecho a la educación superior.
