Contesting intervention in Latin America: Exploring spatial ordering in international law

"Contesting intervention in Latin America: exploring spatial ordering in international law."
Dr Fabia Fernandes Carvalho, Melbourne.

Convenor: Alonso Gurmendi Dunkelberg

About this talk

‘Contesting intervention in Latin America’ assesses the emergence and circulation of the principle of non-intervention in Latin America in the twentieth century. The project explores the ways in which Latin American lawyers engaged with the vocabulary of international law aiming to challenge practices of foreign intervention in the region. This historical exploration of regional understandings of non-intervention seeks to open space for critically grasping the role of international law in projects of spatial ordering. It also aims to enable a detailed interrogation about the different regional sensibilities that are being articulated in Latin America today under the international legal vocabulary.
