Desarrollado como un manual de consulta, el objetivo del Breve diccionario de organizaciones y movimientos politicos y sociales de México (1920-2005) es servir como instrumento de información fidedigna, confiable para cualquier lector. No tiene, sin embargo, la intención de ofrecer un panorama exhaustivo, sino una perspectiva general de estos movimientos y organizaciones, desde el periodo de consolidación de los regímenes posrevolucionarios -iniciado en los años veinte hasta los primeros años del gobierno de la alternancia, en el primer lustro del siglo XXI.

She conducts an in-depth inquiry into the restructuring of the state’s coercive apparatus and the phenomenon of paramilitarism by looking at its military, political, and legal dimensions.
