Book Description
The author argues that liberalization strategy in Mexico has been successful in the short-term, but in looking at issues of employment, income distribution, foreign trade and industrial specialization, it has created a polarization of economy and society resulting in unsustainable conditions.

Book Description
Challenging many common perceptions, this book is dedicated to understanding a major new phenomenon - the large number of skilled urban workers who are coming to America from Mexico's cities. Based on a ten-year study of one working-class neighbourhood in Monterrey, the book studies the forces that lead to Mexican emigration.

Book Description
As political polarization has recently risen throughout Mexico, the literature partly blames social media for fueling this phenomenon. While some argue that social media increases polarization through echo chambers and selective exposure mechanisms, others indicate that social media moderates polarization through the exposure to ideologies that individuals otherwise would not have access to. Using data on mobile coverage, Facebook connections between municipalities, and Mexican Federal legislative elections between 2012 and 2021, I assess whether social media helps or limits the growth in political polarization. Results support both views in the literature as (1) an increase in mobile coverage penetration, which is directly tied to an increase in social media penetration, contributes to an increase in polarization (i.e. echo chambers and selective exposure), which has spiked since 2018, and (2) the exposure to an ideologically diverse social media network helps ameliorate the effects caused by an increase in social media coverage (i.e. the effect of the exposure to a diverse set of ideologies). Further, results show that a higher mobile coverage penetration has helped Andrés Manuel López Obrador in his polarizing strategy to win votes, which he intensified in 2018, the year in which he wins the Presidential elections. However, a higher ideological diversity and greater exposure to the opposition's ideas over social media limit the electoral return of such strategy.

Book Description
Since the 1980s, Mexico has alternately served as a model of structural economic reform and as a cautionary example of the limitations associated with market-led development. This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary assessment of the principal economic and social policies adopted by Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s.

Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Social Welfare History in North America is a unique reference work that provides readers with basic information about the history of social welfare in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The intent of the encyclopedia is to provide readers with information about how these three nations have dealt with social welfare issues, some similar across borders, others unique, as well as to describe important events, developments, and the lives and work of some key contributors to social welfare developments. In choosing a continental focus, editors John M. Herrick and Paul H. Stuart encourage readers to explore cross-national and comparative work in the development of social welfare history. The Encyclopedia defines social welfare broadly to include education, informal mutual assistance, the development of the social work profession, and voluntary charitable activities as well as state supported public welfare activities. The coverage is therefore broad and interdisciplinary, including the fields of anthropology, health sciences, history, political science, social work, and sociology. Editors include specialists in the social welfare history of each nation, and they have collaborated with scholars from a variety of academic disciplines to prepare entries of varying length addressing these issues. Associate editors for Canada and Mexico, both authorities in the history of social welfare in those countries, were responsible for recruiting expert contributors in their fields. No other reference work takes this unique continental approach, and as such this will be a much needed acquisition for any academic or large public library with a social science collection. Beginning students as well as established scholars will find this an invaluable starting point for investigations into new areas of inquiry. Topics Covered • Canada • Charity • Child welfare • Economic conditions and social welfare • Economics/tax policy • Health/Mental Health Policy • Landmark social welfare legislation • Mexico • Poverty • Race and Social Inequality • Social Problems • Social Security and Income Maintenance • Social Welfare Reform • Social Welfare Reformers • Social Work • United States • Women and social welfare Associate Editors John Graham, University of Calgary Enrique Ochoa, California State University, Los Angeles Ruth Britton, University of Southern California Editorial Assistants Russell Bennett and Benson Chisanga, University of Alabama

Book Description
Inviting in tone and organization but rigorous in its scholarship, The Paradox of Democracy in Latin America focuses on the problems, successes, and multiple forms of democracy in Latin America. The opening chapters provide readers with a theoretical and conceptual lens through which to examine the ten case studies, which focus on Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. What becomes clear throughout is that there is a paradox at the heart of Latin America's democracies. Despite decades of struggle to replace authoritarian dictatorships with electoral democracies, solid economic growth (leading up to the global credit crisis), and increased efforts by the state to extend the benefits of peace and prosperity to the poor, democracy—as a political system—is experiencing declining support, and support for authoritarianism is on the rise. The Paradox of Democracy in Latin America demonstrates the deep divisions between rulers and ruled in Latin America that undermine democratic processes, institutions, and norms.

Book Description
The last quarter of the twentieth century was a period of economic crises, increasing indebtedness as well as financial instability for Latin America and most other developing countries; in contrast, China showed amazingly high growth rates during this time and has since become the third largest economy in the world. Based on several case studies, this volume assesses how China’s rise – one of the most important recent changes in the global economy – is affecting Latin America’s national politics, political economy and regional and international relations. Several Latin American countries benefit from China’s economic growth, and China’s new role in international politics has been helpful to many leftist governments’ efforts in Latin America to end the Washington Consensus. The contributors to this thought provoking volume examine these and the other causes, effects and prospects of Latin America’s experiences with China’s global expansion from a South - South perspective.

Book Description
Standard parametric tests of convergence cannot capture whether the increased dispersion among state incomes is due to a steepening gradient between north and south, a few hot states randomly distributed, or as an intermediate position, the emergence of convergence clubs. This paper tests for spatial dependency in income levels and growth rates before and after the trade liberalization of 1985. Looking at levels of income per capita, we clearly identify a "South", but there is no "North" or "Center". Beyond the frontline states on the US border, we immediately enter an area as poor as the South and incomes in the central zone itself are almost randomly distributed geographically. Growth shows little evidence of spatial dependency in any period: There is only weak evidence of a South and none of a North. A strong co-movement of Chiapas and Oaxaca emerged in the 1995-00 period, but it had little historical precedent and whether it will continue cannot be foreseen.
