FLORES, Imer B.. Kelsen in Mexico: A Visit. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2014, n.8, pp.53-94. ISSN 2448-7937.

Revisiting the influence of Hans Kelsen in Mexico requires a revision not only of his visits to Mexico and of the Mexicans to him, but also the different accounts of his thought that exist in Mexico. Hence, we commence by remembering his visits to Mexico -from the cancelled to the consummated, including a endless lists of invitations to visit the country; we continue with the visits of the Mexicans to Kelsen; and we conclude with a visit to Kelsen in Mexico, where we proceed to review the bibliography published both of and on him in Mexico or of Mexican authors. For that purpose, I will do a brief recount of his published works and of the existing debates regarding the extent of influence of his thought -or the fidelity of both kelsenians and antikelsenians. Finally, we include a final consideration on the trascendence of his work.
