Neoliberalism revisited: economic restructuring and Mexico's political future

Having unilaterally opened its borders to international competition and foreign investment in the mid-1980s, Mexico has become one of the world's leading proponents of economic liberalization.

Nevertheless, as the recent uprising of native peoples in Chiapas has made clear, economic reforms are not universally welcomed.

This book addresses the challenges brought about by the restructuring of the Mexican economy at a time when multiple organizations of civil society are demanding a democratic political transition in a system that has been dominated by one party for nearly seventy years.
