Does International Humanitarian Law Play Any Role in Demilitarized Countries? A Policy Analysis of Costa Rica and Panama
This article reviews the role of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in demilitarized countries with a case study of Costa Rica and Panama, two small Central American countries that have constitutionally abolished their armies. The paper addresses the question of whether a country that has not a regular army can in fact be respectful and supportive of the international rules governing armed conflicts. Through a detailed review of national bodies and legislation in both countries, the findings allow the author to conclude that the lack of regular armies or military forces is not a convincing argument to disobey and ignore the norms of IHL
Hacia un nuevo siglo en relaciones internacionales
Este trabajo se inspira en la necesidad de contar con un texto que sirva de referencia
general, en el idioma español, a los y las estudiantes de primer año de estudios de
RI, en principio pero no limitado del plan de estudios de la Escuela de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Nacional. Aunque no se puede descartar una segunda etapa en la que se proyecte como una obra dirigida a otras academias en distintos países de habla española. Por tanto, desde esa perspectiva, constituye una primera aproximación.
El libro está dividido en dos partes. La primera hace referencia a los principales
fundamentos de RI como disciplina; con una ausencia notable: la de los factores
condicionantes de las ri; cuestión que prácticamente no ha sido abordada desde que
M. Merlé la planteó en la década de 1970. La segunda recoge algunos planteamientos sobre distintas áreas temáticas que componen RI; por supuesto no se trata de un
abordaje exhaustivo de todas las áreas. Por el contrario, es necesario reconocer que,
por diversas razones, algunas quedaron fuera de este primer proyecto; como es el
caso evidente de la política internacional y debo reconocer en mi calidad de editor,
que no fue decisión intencional o premeditada, sino una descoordinación durante el
desarrollo del trabajo.This work is inspired by the need to have a text that serves as a reference

The book is divided into two parts. The first refers to the main
fundamentals of RI as a discipline; with a notable absence: that of the factors
determining factors of the ri; question that has hardly been addressed since
M. Merlé raised it in the 1970s. The second contains some proposals on different thematic areas that make up RI; of course it is not a
comprehensive approach to all areas. On the contrary, it is necessary to recognize that,
For various reasons, some were left out of this first project; how is he
obvious case of international politics and I must acknowledge in my capacity as editor,
that it was not an intentional or premeditated decision, but a lack of coordination during the
work development.Universidad Nacional, Costa RicaEscuela de Relaciones Internacionale
