Faculty Book Talk Series featuring Sergio Puig

Please join the Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library on September 10, 2025, at 12:15 pm, for a book talk featuring Sergio Puig, Evo DeConcini Professor of Law and Director of International Trade and Business Law Program at University of Arizona Law, Alejandro Chehtman, Dean & Professor of Law at the Law School of the University of Torcuato Di Tella and a Fellow at the Argentine National Research Council, and Alexandra Huneeus, Evjue-Bascom Professor of Law at the University of Wisconsin, on the occasion of their new book, Latin American International Law in the Twenty-First Century. *NOTE: All three authors will appear via Zoom from Florence, Italy, Buenos Aires, Arg., and Madison, WI. However, we will gather in Room 156 for lunch and to engage with the authors and our colleagues. Latin America has been a pivotal site for influential and innovative developments in international law since the colonial era. Throughout much of the twentieth century, Latin American politics were entangled with the political and economic interests of the United States. Today, as the global order shifts, scholars and legal practitioners are grappling with the current restructuring and potential transformation of international relations—and what this means for international law in the region. This collection of essays brings together a group of highly regarded scholars to present a broad survey of Latin America’s approaches and contributions, historically and presently, to the field of international law. Comprehensive, diverse, and multidisciplinary, the book covers recent developments in areas like environmental regulation, internet regulation, Indigenous rights, LGBTQIA rights, and public health, among others. It also considers more traditional themes, such as law and development, the doctrine of nonintervention, human rights, and jurisdictional disputes in the Spanish colonies. This simultaneous in-person and Zoom event is part of the law library’s Faculty Book Talk Series and will take place on September 10, 2025, at 12:15-1:15 pm in classroom 156 and on Zoom: https://arizona.zoom.us/j/89217567019. Lunch for 30 people will be served.
