The Conception of the International in Three Mexican Protagonists of the 19th Century: Alamán, Mora and Zavala

• In Event: Domestic and International Affairs

Abstract

The paper explores the concept of the international within the works of three prominent figures from 19th-century Mexico: Alamán, Mora, and Zavala. Its aim is to dissect the ideas, concepts, and opinions put forth by these authors, who both participated in and observed the nascent international system's emergence during the 1800s. Drawing on a comprehensive review of each author's seminal texts, the research sheds light on their early understanding of international relations. It highlights how these authors, as active participants, perceived the actors and structures shaping the modern international system as it took form.
