From Asia-Pacific to the Indo-Pacific, in three different world(view)s
There is a sense of déjà vu in the recent Indo-Pacific talk. Twenty years into the twenty-first century, after the interlude of the (US) “unipolar moment”, Asia-Pacific seems to have metamorphosized into the Indo-Pacific, an even vaster expanse. But are we correct in presuming the latest regional construct? Without denying the possibility that it might turn out a useful notion, based on the experience of the Asia-Pacific idea in this article I qu…
Después de Trump
Este artigo de opinião, apresentado a convite, analisa o cenário político pós-Trump e suas implicações para a América Latina, com foco no Brasil. Questiona se a saída de Trump representa um retorno à 'normalidade' ou se, ao contrário, sinaliza a consolidação de uma nova direita e um ciclo político distinto no contexto brasileiro. Explora as possíveis continuidades e rupturas nas relações entre os dois países e as dinâmicas internas do Brasil dian…
Canada–Mexico Relations
This article offers a historical overview of the evolution of the relationship between Canada and Mexico, emphasizing its exiguity, its fundamental economic nature and the consequences of sharing borders with the United States. It is organized as follows: the first section covers the period going from the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1944 to the late 1960s, a period during which the bilateral relation failed to consolidate despite spo…
The Impact of Norms in International Society
International Election Monitoring, Sovereignty, and the Western Hemisphere
From Santiago to Lima
This article looks at the pattern of political integration that has been taking place in the Americas since the 1990s. It is argued that the ideological convergence in the hemisphere has contributed to the emergence of a distinct regional normative structure to support democracy. The article begins with a brief summary of my theoretical baselines, constructivism and neoliberal institutionalism, and subsequently discusses the adoption of the 1991 …
Out of the Blue
In 1993, in advance of what was to be the first Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leader’s summit, US president Bill Clinton gave a lecture at Waseda University in Japan. In his speech, Clinton called for the creation of a “community of the Pacific.” The idea of a Pacific community is neither Clinton’s nor the Democratic Party’s invention, however. In the previous decade Ronald Reagan had already used it, going even beyond later conceptual…
Constitutional Structures, Sovereignty, and the Emergence of Norms
International election monitoring (IEM) has partially redefined sovereignty. In this article I locate the origins of this change in the Americas, claiming that the Western Hemisphere's normative structure, what I call the Western Hemisphere Idea, was particularly conducive to this new understanding of state sovereignty. In the first section, I introduce the continental normative structure, highlighting the way in which it contributed to the event…
Monitoring Elections, Redefining Sovereignty
The issue of sovereignty has historically figured prominently in Latin American political discourse. From Simón Bolívar to Benito Juárez in the nineteenth century, to Juan Domingo Perón and Salvador Allende in the twentieth, to Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez today, sovereignty and its corollary, the non-intervention principle, have been prominent among the region's watchwords. In the late 1950s a Mexican diplomat declared that 'intransigent non-int…
The Emergence of a Transnational Advocacy Network
In this paper I question the existence of a global civil society, suggesting that what we have witnessed in recent years is the emergence of myriad transnational advocacy networks (TANs). I illustrate this claim by looking at a recently novel area in world politics: the international monitoring of elections (IEM), a practice which I claim has partially redefined state sovereignty. This paper takes form as follows. In the first section I present a…
Redefining Sovereignty, Consolidating a Network
Los procesos electorales son hoy en día eventos internacionales y la observación internacional de elecciones(OIE) una práctica institucionalizada en la política mundial que ha redefinido parcialmente el conceptode soberanía estatal. Este trabajo trata de un caso fundacional en el proceso de normalización dela OIE: las elecciones nicaragüenses de 1990. Por primera vez en la historia, la Organización de lasNaciones Unidas, la Organización de Estado…
