Dr. Atiles book Crisis by Design (Stanford, 2024) offers an interdisciplinary sociolegal analysis of the role of law, emergency powers, and anticorruption mobilizations in Puerto Rico’s ongoing multilayered crisis. By critically engaging with law, power, and resistance in Puerto Rico, Crisis by Design contributes to global debates on colonialism, legal governance, and crisis management in the Global South.
