Dismantling the Mexican State?

by Rob Aitken (Editor), Nikki Craske (Editor), Gareth A. Jones (Editor)

Challenges the assumption that the reforms of Mexican president Carlos Salinas (1988-94) will dismantle the authoritarian regime that has held power in 1929, finding the changes to be uneven, limited, and reversible. The 15 essays from a conference at the University of Manchester (no date noted) include such perspectives as regional analysis, emerging institutional configurations, political parties, the re-writing of political discourses, and the state's relations with cities and rural areas.
