Guillermo O'Donnell wrote this 26 years ago in an edited collection about the rule of law in Latin America. The Rule of Law is a complicated idea (see Whigs and Hunters), but generally it helps prevent civil decay and unrest. #RuleOfLaw

4/ the Mexican Cultural Studies class has been a great way to give myself license to read more Mexican authors in genres I don't normally get to. I'll be doing this again in fall 2026 (after spending all year in Mexico next year).
Here is the full list for this year.

Using @isanchezprado.bsky.social 's book club, and this is the selection of books. Curious to see how students do with this set. This is the second time I'm using this approach. I did this with the Intro to Lat Am studies course and it went very well. Let's see how the Mexico class does.
