The World Justice Project (WJP) joins efforts to produce reliable data on rule of law through the WJP Rule of Law Index 2016, the sixth report in an annual series, which measures rule of law based on the experiences and perceptions of the general public and in-country experts worldwide. We hope this annual publication, anchored in actual experiences, will help identify strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy choices that strengthen the rule of law. The WJP Rule of Law Index 2016 presents a portrait of the rule of law in each country by providing scores and rankings organized around eights factors: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, ope...
Here is an authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884–1934 available in English. Like the author's biographical directory for the years 1935–2009, it draws on many years of research in Mexico and the United States and seeks not only to provide accurate biographical information about each entry but also, where possible and appropriate, to connect these politicians to more recent leadership generations.

Este libro recoge la traducción al español del volumen titulado Mediating Principles, una compilación de trabajos sobre los principios limitadores y fundamentadores del castigo aparecida en lengua alemana con contribuciones de destacados penalistas como Wolfgang Frisch, Bernd Schünemann, Winfried Hassemer, Günter Stratenwerth, Kurt Seelmann, Andrew von Hirsch, Tatjana Hörnle, Roland Hefendehl, Lothar Kuhlen, Ulfried Neumann, Wolfgang Wohlers, entre otros. La edición española está prologada por el Prof. Jesús-María Silva Sánchez quien emprende un diálogo crítico con los autores del libro original y coordinada por el Prof. Ricardo Robles Planas quien además, ha incluido, a modo de introducción, una aportación propia al debate titulada «Dogmática de los límites al Derecho penal». Se trata de una obra que no dejará indiferente al lector atento a los desarrollos de la postmodernidad penal y preocupado por hallar barreras de contención al desbocamiento incriminador del actual Derecho penal.
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
A multidisciplinary investigation of contemporary Mexican cinema
Based on archival research, this study of Pancho Villa aims to separate myth from history. It looks at Villa's early life as an outlaw and his emergence as a national leader, and at the special considerations that transformed the state of Chihuahua into a leading centre of revolution.
