The Changing Profile of the Natural Law
This work approaches international law as more than merely information contained in international legal norms, & does not view international law as a body of objective & binding normative commands. As 'legal knowledge', international law encompasses rules, practices & the expectations actors derive through legal reasoning from conventional legal rules, customary norms, international adjudication, & international legal theory. The study is in three parts. Part I constructs a framework to analyze the effectiveness of international law to influence decision-making within conflict resolution processes. Drawing on the contending approaches of the New Haven School of International Law & its rivals & applying various devices of linkage theory, the analysis isolates variables & indicators of the impact of legal expectations on actors' decision-making style. These variables & indicators also reveal the ways international legal rules are affected by the actors' perceptions about the normative contents of such rules in a particular bargaining process. Parts II & III apply the framework of Part I to explain the role of international law in the Central American peace negotiations of the 1980s. Using the framework, Parts II & III identify sources of uncertainty & diverging expectations in the Western Hemisphere that aggravated rather than assuaged the Central American crisis. Parts II & III also explain the normative constraints that affected Central American decision-makers & provided the basis for most of the regional consensus within the Esquipulas meeting. With the help of heuristic devices from the behavioral sciences, this study of international law proposes an alternative to the traditional views of international legal effectiveness in the modern world.

Philosophical Knowledge
What is truth? Is every statement either true or false? Do we know anything? What can we know in philosophy? For example, what are our moral obligations? Do we have a free will? And does God exist? This book uses arguments, thought experiments and formal logic to answer these questions. Most parts of the book should be easy to understand. However, some basic knowledge in theoretical philosophy and logic may be useful to understand some of the details. Omar A. Ayaita, born 1987, studied philosophy in Tübingen, Konstanz (both Germany) and Amherst, Massachusetts (USA).
