The Reinvention of Mexico
The Reinvention of Mexico explores the ideological conflict between neoliberalism and nationalism that has been at the core of economic and political development in Latin America since the mid-1980s. Grappling with a wide variety of issues generated by the dismantling of the statist economy and subsequent climate of market reforms, this timely volume shows that Mexico's transformation in the 1990s has broader implications for the study of nationalism. A welcome contribution to the literature on Latin American history, The Reinvention of Mexico offers important insight into national responses to globalization and the most appropriate vision of political economy in Latin America.
Judicial Power and Strategic Communication in Mexico
Although they are not directly accountable to voters, constitutional court judges communicate with the general public through the media. In Judicial Power and Strategic Communication in Mexico, Jeffrey K. Staton argues that constitutional courts develop public relations strategies in order to increase the transparency of judicial behavior and promote judicial legitimacy. Yet, in some political contexts there can be a tension between transparency and legitimacy, and for this reason, courts cannot necessarily advance both conditions simultaneously. The argument is tested via an analysis of the Mexican Supreme Court during Mexico's recent transition to democracy, and also through a cross-national analysis of public perceptions of judicial legitimacy. The results demonstrate that judges can be active participants in the construction of their own power. More broadly, the study develops a positive political theory of institutions, which highlights the connections between democratization and the rule of law.
The Challenge of Institutional Reform in Mexico
The Salinas administration's reforms in Mexico generated widespread attention and questions. This book addresses those questions, examining the impact of the recent reforms on the state's relations with key social and political actors and assessing reform initiatives.
Crossing Swords
Based on a decade of field research, this work is the first book-length, scholarly examination in English of the role of Catholicism in Mexican society since the 1970s through 1995, and the increasing political activism of the Catholic church and clergy. It is also the first analysis of church-state relations in Latin America that incorporates detailed interviews of numerous bishops and clergy and leading politicians about how they see each other and how religion influences their values. It is also the first analysis of the Mexican Catholic Church which uses national survey research to examine Mexican attitudes toward religion, Christianity, and Catholicism, and provides the first inside look at the decision-making process of bishops at the diocesan level.

Conceptismo, legalismo. Filosofado jesuita. La pasión del hombre y la Batalla de Zinacantán (Xipe totek 50)
La batalla de Zinacantán, que aparece en este número, las torturas a los presos iraquíes ilustran de manera más bárbara todavía el tratamiento que recibió Jesús en la meditación Mel Gibson La Pasión de Cristo. En este número Nos pareció conveniente publicar ahora unas breves notas sobre la historia de este filosofado de los jesuitas, que se remonta al siglo XVI. Y en el siguiente número hablaremos de su situación actual. A partir de este número, la carpeta Chiapas se convierte en Derechos Humanos, aunque de central interés seguirá siendo Chiapas y el mundo indígena, piedra de toque de nuestra así llamada cultura mexicana. Ante los hechos de Zinacantán, viene el deseo de exclamar ¡Viva México!. Si quieres saber más de la revista Xipe totek, encuéntrala en https://xipetotek.iteso.mx/ (ITESO), (Universidad ITESO)
