Inhaltsangabe

(By 1981 Mexico was the world's fourth largest petroleum producer, yet it faced a foreign debt that shook the international financial system to its foundations the. following year. In 1982 Mexico suffered its worst recession since the Great Depression. What went wrong?
POLICYMAKING IN MEXICO: FROM BOOM TO CRISIS examines the historical and political, dimensions of Mexico's 1982 economic dilemma. Professor Teichman traces the events leading up to the political and economic crises of the late 1960s, and then analyzes the motivations, interests, and alliances that patterned the economic policy choices of Mexico's top political leaders between 1976 and 1982. She argues that the goals and interests of state managers in Mexico have interacted with the growing contradictions of peripheral capitalism and with international events to produce policies that have deepened Mexico's economic crisis and have exacerbated social conflicts.
Based on extensive field research and in-depth interviews with Mexican policymakers, this book will be of great interest to other policymakers as well as students and academics in the fields of international development, comparative politics, political economy, and Latin American studies)
