Mexico

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:

"Mexico is immersed in deep transformations. The country has opened to the world, liberalized its economy and moved to a more democratic system. There is an obvious need to understand the process. Dan Levy and Kate Bruhn's book is a well-balanced portrayal of Mexico's contemporary history, and of the role played by the United States. A must for those interested in understanding what is going on in Mexico."—Sergio Aguayo, author of Myths and (Mis)Perceptions: Changing U.S. Elite Visions of Mexico

"A wonderful guide to the social, economic, and political changes in contemporary Mexico. It goes a long way to explaining the concurrent rise of narco-traffic, the victory of Fox, and the transformation of the Mexican economy in the 1990s. I learned a great deal from it."—Miguel Centeno, author of Democracy Within Reason: Technocratic Revolution in Mexico
