It has become an intimate part of life in almost every community in the United States, through immigration, imported produce, business ties, or illegal drugs. It is less a neighbor than a sibling; no matter what our differences, it is intricately a part of our existence. In this contribution to Oxford's acclaimed series, What Everyone Needs to Know, the author gives readers the most essential information about our sister republic to the south. He organizes chapters around major themes such as security and violence, economic development, foreign relations, the colonial heritage, and more. He asks questions that take us beyond the headlines: Why does Mexico have so much drug violence? What was the impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement? How democratic is Mexico? Who were Benito Juarez and Pancho Villa? What is the PRI (the Institutional Revolutionary Party)? The answers are sometimes surprising. Despite ratification of NAFTA, for example, Mexico has fallen behind Brazil and Chile in economic growth and rates of poverty. He explains that lack of labor flexibility, along with low levels of transparency and high levels of corruption, make Mexico less competitive than some other Latin American countries. The drug trade, of course, enhances corruption and feeds on poverty; approximately 450,000 Mexicans now work in this sector. But he also reveals that President Calderon's recent assault on narcotics smugglers, and the violence resulting from it, may have actually lessened the government's control of parts of the country and national institutions. 000448634 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000448634 650_0 $$aNational security$$zMexico. 000448634 651_0 $$aMexico$$xPolitics and government. 000448634 651_0 $$aMexico$$xEconomic conditions. 000448634 651_0 $$aMexico$$xEconomic policy. 000448634 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRelations$$zMexico. 000448634 651_0 $$aMexico$$xRelations$$zUnited States. 000448634 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000448634 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCamp, Roderic A.$$tMexico.$$dNew York : Oxford University Press, c2011$$z9780199773886$$z9780199773879$$w(DLC) 2011001655$$w(OCoLC)697612930 000448634 8520_ $$bacq 000448634 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000448634 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=746668$$zOnline Access 000448634 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:448634$$pGLOBAL_SET 000448634 980__ $$aEBOOK 000448634 980__ $$aBIB 000448634 982__ $$aEbook 000448634 983__ $$aOnline
