Cycles of Conflict, Centuries of Change by Elisa Servn

Cycles of Conflict, Centuries of Change by Elisa Servn

Cycles of crisis and reform, of conflict and change, have marked Mexico's modern history. The late eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries each brought efforts to integrate Mexico into globalizing economies, pressures on the country's diverse peoples, and attempts at reform. This book examines the three fin-de-siecle eras of crisis.

“In these brilliant essays, eminent scholars examine the roots and processes of democracy, authoritarianism, and international relations in Mexico as a means of explaining contemporary eventsBy illuminating the rich creativity and changing constraints of Mexican politics, they validate the indispensability of historical analysis and cast doubt on the facile paradigms that render Latin American political development derivative, delayed, or deviant.”—Mary Kay Vaughan
“Cycles of Conflict, Centuries of Change . . . brings together some of the biggest names in Mexican history to explore the cyclical nature of crisis in the Mexican political system as a means of understanding Mexico’s current situation. . . . This volume has more than met its goal of providing a comparative approach to understanding the causes and effects of Mexico’s two revolutions (the first political and the second social) as a means of understanding current politics.” -- Andrae M. Marak * Canadian Journal of History *
