Power Grab
Explores how dictators maintain their grip on power by seizing control of oil, metals, and minerals production.
Delivering on Promises
A timely investigation into the conditions that make international agreements—and the institutions that enforce them—vulnerable. When do international institutions effectively promote economic cooperation among countries and help them resolve conflict? Although the international system lacks any central governing authority, states have created rules, particularly around international economic relations, and empowered international tribunals to enforce those rules. Just how successful are these institutions? In Delivering on Promises Lauren J. Peritz demonstrates that these international courts do indeed deliver results—but they are only effective under certain conditions. As Peritz sho...
La reforma definitiva
La reforma definitiva propone una nueva explicación sobre el fin del régimen autoritario que el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) encabezó en México, entre 1929 y 2000. Para el autor, la reforma electoral de 1996 tuvo un papel clave. Los profundos cambios en la estructura de incentivos de las facciones priistas con esta reforma desencadenaron la erosión de la unidad del partido y, con ello, la deserción de sus cuadros más experimentados y sus valiosas máquinas clientelares. A partir de la investigación de archivos, entrevistas y el análisis estadístico de bases de datos creadas especialmente para este proyecto, el autor expone el profundo impacto electoral de las reformas en todos los órdenes de gobierno, causando la derrota del PRI en diversas elecciones locales y, finalmente, en la elección presidencial.
Women in Mexican Subnational Legislatures
This book aims to fill a gap in research on women's political representation by developing a multidimensional assessment of female participation in subnational legislatures in a federal political system like Mexico. The Mexican experience in terms of women's political representation at the federal and subnational levels has been very successful, as the reforms created a more robust "gender electoral regime" that promoted an increase in the number of elected female legislators (1987-2021). Still, little is known about the impact of the rise in women's presence in Congresses on other dimensions of political representation, such as symbolic or substantive. Although previous studies on women's p...
Introducing Comparative Politics
Organized thematically around important questions in comparative politics, the Sixth Edition of Introducing Comparative Politics integrates a set of extended case studies that vividly illustrate issues in cross-national context for 11 countries. The cases are placed within the chapters where they make the most sense —not separated from the theory or in a separate volume—helping students make connections between theory and practice earlier in the semester and giving them a more holistic view of comparative politics. This title is accompanied by a complete teaching and learning package. Contact your Sage representative to request a demo. Learning Platform / Courseware Sage Vantage is an in...
How Dictatorships Work
Explains how dictatorships rise, survive, and fall, along with why some but not all dictators wield vast powers.
Democratization and Authoritarian Party Survival
By focusing on political institutions to understand the new power-sharing agreement between the national party headquarters and the party's governors, this work explores why Mexico's hegemonic PRI was able to survive out of power after it was ousted from the executive in 2000.
Una ciudad mejor que ésta
Cuando las chilangas y los chilangos nos desesperamos por lo que pasa en donde vivimos, nos referimos a nuestro lugar de residencia como esta ciudad . Queremos seguir viviendo aquí, en la capital del país. Lo que no queremos es vivir en esta ciudad . Queremos vivir en una ciudad mejor pero siempre nuestra . La queremos sin la simulación, las clientelas, el centralismo gubernamental y la tutela renovada del presidente. Queremos una Ciudad de México autónoma, abierta al diálogo; cosmopolita y contradictoria y multicultural. Queremos una ciudad mejor que ésta: auténticamente diversa; económicamente dinámica y creativa; intelectual y sexualmente compleja y respetuosa; festiva y abierta ydesmadrosa pero segura y limpia. Y lo más importante: queremos construirla con nuestra imaginación, nuestras manos y nuestros pasos. Queremos una ciudad no de aparatos y clientelas, sino de verdaderos ciudadanos.
