It is one of the most important emerging market economies in the world and arguably the most important country in the everyday lives of Americans. Yet what do we really know about it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy revealing the unwritten rules of behavior that drive Mexico's politics, economy, and foreign policy, leading political scientist Pamela K. Starr explores the competing forces shaping Mexican modernity. Tracing the origins of these behavioral forces in history, she shows how they characterize Mexico's foreign relations and security challenges as well as explain the strengths and weaknesses of its institutions. Amid growing pressure for reform and tumultuous US–Mexico relations, Starr gets to the heart of the forces influencing decision-making in Mexico's current regime, known as the Fourth Transformation. Her fresh and concise analysis of Mexico – its historic trajectory and contemporary political landscape – unpacks why this modern market economy behaves as it does.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Making of Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e offers an incisive introduction to Mexico for students of Mexican history, politics, and political economy, as well as US–Mexico relations and Latin American politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I History\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Mexico's Pre-Revolutionary Experience\u003cbr\u003e2 Revolutionary Inheritances\u003cbr\u003e3 The PRI System in Action\u003cbr\u003e4 The Collapse of the PRI System\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Reformist Mexico\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 Democracy\u003cbr\u003e6 Security\u003cbr\u003e7 Economy\u003cbr\u003e8 Foreign Relations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Mexico Today\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9 The Fourth Transformation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBibliography\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441814892824,"sku":"9781509564255","price":46.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509564255.jpg?v=1785026889","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-making-of-mexico-revolution-reform-and-transformation-hardback-9781509564255","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
