Chapter 18 in Research Handbook on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), 2025, pp 206-216 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Third World Approaches to International Law is a vibrant, diverse intellectual field that is having a renaissance of sorts. More and more students of international law from the Global South find its aims in terms of form and substance appealing and worth engaging with. The chapter discusses how TWAIL ideas speak to Latin America: what are the progressive traditions it foregrounds and what are critical insights about law that are most relevant, by analyzing writers Juan Rulfo, Gabriel García Márquez and Fernanda Melchor. Their work is brought in to provide complexity, depth and texture to the particular traits of the region.
