I have posted my new article

GLOBAL LAWS, LOCAL LIVES: IMPACT OF THE NEW REGIONALISM ON HUMAN RIGHTS COMPLIANCE (with Patricia Camino Pérez)

on my personal web site at ExpressO as an unpublished (so far) paper.  See http://works.bepress.com/stephen_powell/doctype.html.

I would especially appreciate suggestions for next steps in my research.
