            ASIN: 1900039451

            Book Description

            The victory by Vicente Fox Quesada in Mexico's July 2000 presidential election was a watershed in the country's political history. His triumph convincingly marked the consolidation of electoral democracy and, by ending seven decades of uninterrupted national rule by the "official" Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), symbolized a clear break with the political regime established following the 1910-1920 revolution. Nevertheless, many legacies of postrevolutionary authoritarianism persist, and Mexico's democratization process remains incomplete.

            The seventeen contributors to this volume assess Mexico's political dynamics at the turn of the century and the many pending challenges in the construction of a more fully democratic political order. They examine: (1) changes affecting the party system, electoral institutions, and voting behavior; (2) the evolving role of the armed forces, organized labor, big business, and rural producers; (3) the new importance of civil society, the mass media, and cross-border social coalitions; (4) and key issues of political representation and governance, including executive-legislative relations, judicial performance, federalism, the constitutional rights of indigenous peoples, and the political role of Mexicans resident in the United States.

              Book Description

              John Girling provides an informative and stimulating overview of French life in a climate of globalization and European integration. He critically examines the residual values of grandeur and elitism in the administrative, political and economic leadership of contemporary France and evaluates their changing profiles in education, and domestic and foreign policy. Moreover, he analyzes the current political practice in the absence of major ideologies. In the face of a rapidly changing world, Girling addresses the question of French cultural identity with both optimism and pessimism.

                -"This work is a significant contribution, rich in data, as well as being at the forefront of world-systems oriented analyses of agricultural development (or de-development) and income distribution problems in lesser-developed countries." -F. LaMond Tullis, Brigham Young University In spite of be most thorough agrarian reform in nonsocialist Latin America. Mexico cannot feed its population. Steven Sanderson attributes the problems of Mexican agriculture to an internationalization of the food system promoted by the Mexican state, the trade system, and agribusiness,. Recent Mexican public policy, in particular, has brought about the adoption of international standards of production that are transforming Mexican agriculture. By treating the role of international and national factors in structuring rural development, Professor Sanderson suggests the potential contributions of other case studies to an understanding of global patterns. In addition, his presentation of a new set of data on U.S. and Mexican agriculture clarifies the interaction of a modernizing agricultural society with the world's largest t agricultural producer. Steven E. Sanderson ,,s Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Florida, Gainesville. He is the Author of Agrarian Populism and the Mexican State: Struggle for Land in Sonora (California) and editor of The Americas in the New International Division of Labor (Holmes and Meier).
