The Origins of Informality: Why the Legal Foundation of Global Governance are Shifting, and Why It Matters
The Origins of Informality: Why the Legal Foundation of Global Governance are Shifting, and Why It Matters
Why are informal IOs on the rise? What does this mean for the governance of global challenges? Charles Roger, Assistant Professor and Research Fellow Beatriu de Pinós at IBEI, offers fresh answers to these questions in his new book. He systematically tests a new theory of informality and a novel account of how major changes within the domestic political arenas of powerful states are shifting the legal foundations of global governance.

Spain and Latin America: from a special relation to detachment?
Spain and Latin America: from a special relation to detachment?
This book chapter by Andrea C. Bianculli, IBEI Assistant Professor, shows that accommodation and compromise between the idea of an Iberoamerican community, based on a shared history and common values, on the one hand, and material objectives, on the other, were easily reached during the 1980s and 1990s, assuring Spain’s leadership in LAC and in the European Union (EU). With the turn of the century, though, this strain became more pronounced. Published in The Oxford Handbook of Spanish Politics, edited by D. Muro and I. Lago.
