"Three geopolitical essays criticize Argentina's recent foreign policy from a nationalistic perspective. Believes that Menem's abandonment of traditional Peronist policies and his option for Western alignment were the result of a 'brilliant plot planned and executed by the Jewish-North American lobby and the British and Israeli secret services' and calls for a new role to be played by nationalistic army groups in formulating and implementing independent policies. Representative sample of the unbalanced views held by these military groups and their civilian allies who opposed Alfonsín's and Menem's foreign policies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57

This case study looks at the conflict between Spain and ETA from a transnational perspective. It analyzes the exile of ETA members to Mexico as part of the foreign policy between Spain and Mexico, from the beginning of the post Franco exile in 1977 until the first extradition in 2000. In these years ETA was not only a constant topic of the bilateral agenda, but shaped decisively the development of the diplomatic relations and the national conflict itself. Anhand einer empirischen Fallstudie wird der Konflikt zwischen Spanien und ETA aus einer transnationalen Perspektive betrachtet. Es geht darum zu zeigen, wie das Exil der ETA in Mexiko die politischen Beziehungen zwischen Spanien und Mexiko vom Etablieren des Exils ab 1977 bis zur ersten Auslieferung 2000 bestimmte und welche Rückwirkung das Thema ETA in der Außenpolitik auf den nationalen Konflikt hatte.

Multilateral diplomacy has represented for Mexico an important counterweight space in its immediate geopolitical environment. Through it, Mexico developed initiatives and assumed positions that left their mark on the main issues on the international agenda. Multilateralism also made it possible to mitigate asymmetries in inter-American relations in the face of conflicts that arose on the continent and that put the guiding principles of Mexican foreign policy to the test. Currently, the growing interdependence of the domestic agenda on the environment, migration, drugs and regional security forces us to review the trajectory of Mexican multilateralism. In response to this imperative, this work offers a systematic review of the main interventions of Mexico in multilateral forums, an essential path to know the directions of Mexican diplomacy in these matters, as well as to evaluate the scope and limitations that allow to pose realistically the challenges facing global governance in a world of crisis.

María L. Pérez Bernardo provides a comprehensive introduction to the journalism of Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921), one of the most remarkable Spanish intellectuals of the nineteenth century. The book is divided into six chapters, followed by a collection of Emilia's journalistic articles. This book contains detailed information of her biography, her role as a journalist and influences as a literary author. The primary topics of her articles reflect on feminism and women's suffrages and religion at the turn of the 19th century. Bazan's well-crafted depictions of 19th- and early 20th-century society reflects and examines a wide spectrum of social classes and social conflicts in both urban and rural of Spain which caused the rise of crime in society. In retrospect of political writings she expresses her opinion about the Spanish government foreign policy including the 1898 War between Spain and the United States

"The European Union is today a major player in many policy areas, going from classic economic fields as competition policy, agriculture and fisheries policy to new emergent fields as environmental policy, arterial intelligence policy, security and foreign policy and criminal justice policy. These policies comes with an increasing level of EU regulation, having also a substantive impact on the harmonization of national policies and regulations. This expansion of EU competence naturally also places new demands on their enforcement, especially when it comes to investigations with the aim of imposing punitive administrative and/or criminal sanctions. In this expanded version of his valedictory lecture Prof. Vervaele is assessing 1) to what extent the EU and its Member States have a policy on punitive enforcement in the internal market and in the Area of Freedom Security and Justice and 2) how this policy translates into the harmonization of substantive administrative and criminal law and procedural law at the national level and into the elaboration of administrative and judicial cooperation instruments and the setting up of European enforcement agencies. The assessment includes to what extent this policy takes account of the human rights obligations. Vervaele concludes with a plea for a European model for punitive law enforcement with an increased alignment between the administrative enforcement tools in the internal market and the criminal enforcement tools in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. In this model the national enforcement authorities are build in under a network cooperation scheme."--
