Mexican Civil Society and the Challenge of Epistemic Justice in Contemporary Regionalism

In her article, Rosalba Icaza states that one of the fundamental challenges faced by civil society as it aims to influence or resist contemporary regionalism is to continue to contribute to epistemic justice or the capacity to make visions and knowledge politically visible, in this case over the region and regionalism, which have been systematically ignored. She discusses the role played by academia in ignoring “other” visions and knowledge concerning multilateral regional politics. In short, this article provides a critical academia analysis by the academia, and in it the author proposes epistemic-methodological steps aimed towards reverting conditions of epistemic invisibility and providing an answer to what are the challenges for Mexican civil society in the face of 21st. Century multilateralism.
