{"product_id":"remoteness-reconsidered-christopher-rossi-9780472132577","title":"Remoteness Reconsidered: The Atacama Desert and International Law","description":"\u003cp\u003eMuch of our understanding of the world is framed from the perspective of a dominant power center, or from standard readings of historical events. The architecture of international information distribution, academic centers, and the lingua franca of international scholarly discourse also shape these stories. \u003ci\u003eRemoteness Reconsidered \u003c\/i\u003eemploys the idea of remoteness as an analytical tool for viewing international law's encounter with the Americas from the unusual, peripheral perspective of the Atacama Desert. The Atacama is one of the most remote places on Earth, although that less-than-accurate perspective comes from standard historical accounts of the region, accounts that originate from the \"center.\" Changing the usual frame of reference leads to a reconsideration of the idea of remoteness and of the subsequent marginalization of historical narratives that influence hemispheric international relations in important ways today. Lessons about international law's encounters with neoliberalism, indigenous and human rights, and the management and extraction of mineral resources take on new significance by following a spatial turn toward the idea of remoteness as applied to the Atacama Desert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Rossi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472132571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472132577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Christopher Rossi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995919286527,"sku":"9780472132577","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88c56a3b-b214-44f7-951a-2ff66ae30def.jpg?v=1683338638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/remoteness-reconsidered-christopher-rossi-9780472132577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
