ANANOS MEZA, María Cecilia. The Idea of Common Goods in the International System: Revival or Extinction?. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2014, vol.14, pp.153-195. ISSN 1870-4654.

The idea of the common goods has experienced a revival in the last years, due especially to the studies made in the economic sciences and to the presence of intelectual creations. However, its existence in the international system is still being exiguous and controversial, mainly with reference to the global common spaces or resources, which seem to be exposed to the global trends of privatization and commercialization. This paper will be concerned with the clarification of the question, to what extent this international system admits the idea of the common goods in global resources, and if it is suitable to speak of their revival at this level.
