Críticas:

"This is the best all-around single-volume introduction to the politics of Mexico available in English."--Adrian P. Hull, State University of New York College at Cortland "Politics in Mexico is, and has been for a number of years, a standard textbook in introductory courses on Mexican politics for good reason. It is well conceived, well structured, and well argued."--Pamela K. Starr, University of Southern California "The book's major strength is its scope and detailed attention to current events and to changes in Mexicans' attitudes and political behaviors."--Kenneth Greene, The University of Texas at Austin "The most accessible introduction to Mexican politics on the market. It works well as a core text in an undergraduate course on Mexico or comparative politics."--Victor J. Hinojosa, Baylor University

Reseña del editor:

Thoroughly grounded in Mexican history and based on extensive field research, this acclaimed introduction examines the roots of Mexico's contemporary political culture and its democratic transformation. Now in its sixth edition, Politics in Mexico: Democratic Consolidation or Decline? has been revised and updated in order to address three major changes that have occurred since 2006: the broad effort of Mexico to consolidate its democracy, President Calderon's aggressive, proactive strategy against drug cartels, and the effects of the 2008 global recession.

Author Roderic Ai Camp provides an analysis of numerous aspects of Mexican political and economic development, highlighting controversial issues related to electoral democracy, drug-related violence, poverty, human rights, and the country's economic and political relationship with the U.S. Engagingly written by one of the top scholars in the field, Politics in Mexico, Sixth Edition, is essential reading for students of Mexican or Latin American politics, comparative politics, and Mexican history.
