Middle Eastern Terrorism: From Black September to September 11
A thoroughly researched account of the genesis and evolution of Middle Eastern terrorism, addressing when and why terrorists started targeting Americans and American interests and what led to the September 11 attacks
Murder in Ciudad Juárez: A Parable of Women’s Struggle for Human Rights
The murder of hundreds of women in Ciudad Juárez during the past decade has compelled women to mobilize. This mobilization is a parable of women's struggle for human rights because the factors that cause gender-based violence in Mexico are common throughout the world, the authorities' failure to punish those crimes constitutes a form of gender discrimination that is prevalent throughout the world, and the imperative for Mexican women to mobilize …
Chile Under Pinochet: Recovering the Truth
"Following his bloody September 1973 coup d'etat that overthrew President Salvador Allende, Augusto Pinochet, commander-in-chief of the Chilean Armed Forces and National Police, became head of a military junta that would rule Chile for the next seventeen years.

It then reviews the reforms that have been enacted or proposed, and …
Truth Commissions for Chile and El Salvador: A Report and Assessment
In the Americas, Chile and El Salvador have provided the most recent experiments with truth commissions. The Chilean Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Salvadoran Commission on the Truth were formed in dissimilar political circumstances as means to recover the truth about decades of political violence, and to recommend reforms aimed to prevent its recurrence. A review of the work of the truth commissions is warranted because the human ri…
In with the New, Out with the Old? The Democratising Impact of Constitutional Reform in Chile
On 30 July 1989 Chileans cast ballots in an historic but unheralded plebiscite, and approved a massive revision of the Constitution that in 1980 the Pinochet regime had crafted to institutionalise its rule. Some observers had doubted that it would be possible to change Pinochet's prized 'Constitution of Liberty', while others have since questioned the significance of the reforms that were achieved. In fact, as a result of the July referendum, 54 …
