Now in a thoroughly updated edition, this comprehensive and engaging text explores contemporary Mexico's political development and examines the most important policy issues facing Mexico in the twenty-first century. The first half of the book begins with a broad historical overview leading to the 1910 Revolution, the emergence of the modern Mexican political system, and the transition from single party rule to democracy. The second half of the book analyzes key challenges, including economic development, poverty and inequality, civil society, crime and violence, and relations with the United States. The text is richly supplemented by new figures and tables that illustrate broad political, social, and economic trends, boxes and provide in-depth treatment of a variety of subjects and concepts. Readers will find this widely praised work remains the most current and accessible text available on Mexico's politics and policy.
