My Second Academic Article: Figuring Out the Nouvelle Droite!









My second academic article was a kind of summary of my Ph.D. dissertation, which I completed at McGill University. It is about how far right-wing intellectuals coped with the post-World War Two period and the official defeat of Fascism.

The title of my second, peer-reviewed academic article is the following:

"The Ambiguities of the Nouvelle Droite, 1968-1999," The European Legacy 6 (3) (2001), pp. 333-351.

The article became cited as one of the standard references on the nouvelle droite, or broader European New Right (i.e., by other academics and in Wikipedia).

Here is the Wikipedia link to the Nouvelle Droite, which cites my name and ideas:

My First Academic Article: Football, Politics, and Culture










In the next few days, I will post my academic work online...It was back in 1997 that I published my first peer-reviewed academic article on the relationship between football (soccer), politics, and culture in Latin America. Check out the abstract and article below and let me know what you think!

Back from My Hiatus: At The TEC OF MONTERREY!


Dear Friends and Colleagues,




I was off managing my move to Queretaro and my new university, the TECNOLOGICO DE MONTERREY (CAMPUS QUERETARO) in Mexico. I teach in the Department of Humanities and International Relations. Here is a link to my university, one of the most highly rated in the Americas:

(Please note that there is an English link too...And by the way, I am learning Spanish, but teaching in English. I teach International Relations Theories I and II, European Politics, and Geopolitics)...

Oh yes, and a link to the gorgeous colonial city of Queretaro:

In the next little while, I will post excerpts of my academic work throughout my career.

Peace and abrazos (hugs),
