Acknowledgments

We wish to thank the many friends, colleagues, and students—too many to name individually—who contributed to the development of the ideas presented in this book through their support, research, and innumerable hallway, conference, classroom, and restaurant discussions. We also thank the numerous communities, including the human rights and trade communities around the world, that have provided the support and inspiration that made this project a reality.

We owe special gratitude to the unique team of Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic—both dear friends and valued colleagues—who encouraged us to pursue the idea of the human rights/trade intersection in a critical and self-critical way. We also owe special thanks to our research assistants Veronica Arenas, Vatrice Perrin, Paola Chavarro, Joshua Clark, Joanna Theiss, Robert Bowser, Reka Toth, Trisha Low, and Geraldine Rosso. We owe exceptional gratitude to Cindy Zimmerman, a faculty assistant and word processing and editing genius, whose work has been invaluable in the production and completion of this book.

At NYU Press, Deborah Gershenowitz helped us launch the project, kept in close touch throughout the process, and saw the book to completion. She deserves special mention.

We have produced this work at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Dean Robert Jerry has been generous with his support and personal encouragement.

Finally we want to thank our family and friends for unselfishly providing time, understanding, emotional support, nourishment, and much-needed reality checks.
