Eclipse of the Assassins
Eclipse of the Assassins investigates the sensational 1984 murder of Mexico's most influential newspaper columnist, Manuel Buendía, and how that crime reveals the lethal hand of the U.S. government in Mexico and Central America during the final decades of the twentieth century.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
The North American Free Trade Association has accelerated its interdependence with the U.S. economy. At the same time, Mexico has been experiencing great political, economic, and social disruption, and has become the territory of origin or transit of most of the illegal drugs entering the United States. The growing interpenetration and interdependence of the two countries means that this turmoil is more likely than ever to spill over the border. Whether in the form of economic interaction, illegal immigration, or the spread of corruption and violence, what happens in Mexico increasingly affects our own national interests. By redefining U.S.-Mexican national security in nontraditional terms, the author has gone a long way towards helping us comprehend the implications of what has been happening. Equally important, he offers practical suggestions as to how U.S. leaders should respond--and not respond--to these challenges.

They find that the content of what is exported and how it fares are profoundly shaped by...
Populism in Twentieth Century Mexico
Mexican presidents Lázaro Cárdenas (1934–1940) and Luis Echeverría (1970–1976) used populist politics in an effort to obtain broad-based popular support for their presidential goals. In spite of differences in administrative plans, both aimed to close political divisions within society, extend government programs to those on the margins of national life, and prevent foreign ideologies and practices from disrupting domestic politics. As different as they were in political style, both relied on appealing to the public through mass media, clothing styles, and music. This volume brings together twelve original essays that explore the concept of populism in twentieth century Mexico. Contri...
Liderazgo Fallido
Nuestros líderes nos han fallado. Nuestros líderes nos siguen fallando. Nosotros, en tanto líderes, estamos fallando. Es propio del sentido común dar por hecho que ser líder es cuestión de naturaleza. Todos somos líderes, malos, regulares, buenos o excelentes. Si podemos ser excelentes, ¿por qué nos conformarnos con ser como somos? En esta obra descubrirás los más intrincados vericuetos que nos conducen a equivocarnos en nuestro ejercicio del liderazgo. Casos que ilustran errores a nivel personal, familiar y en organizaciones deportivas y empresariales o en instituciones públicas como integrantes del Congreso, de la Suprema Corte o de los tres niveles de gobierno.
