Democracy in "Two Mexicos" - 9781137263025

This book provides an explanation of some of the root causes of civil upheaval and violent political conflict in Mexico by examining the cases of Oaxaca and Nuevo León in the period from 2000 to 2006. Oaxaca and Nuevo León represent 'two Mexicos': the rich Mexico and the poor Mexico. The author assesses two main groups of explanatory factors—socioeconomic and institutional—and examines some of the mechanisms through which these variables operate and interact with other factors (e.g., resources, opportunities, and government actions) to generate massive political turmoil. Evidence presented here shows that institutional factors are the primary sources of major political conflict in Mexico. Socioeconomic factors are significant but not predominant.
