In The Last Good Neighbor Eric Zolov presents a revisionist account
of Mexican domestic politics and international relations during the
long 1960s, tracing how Mexico emerged from the shadow of FDR's
Good Neighbor policy to become a geopolitical player in its own
right during the Cold War. Zolov shows how President Adolfo Lopez
Mateos (1958-1964) leveraged Mexico's historical ties with the
United States while harnessing the left's passionate calls for
solidarity with developing nations in a bold attempt to alter the
course of global politics. During this period, Mexico forged
relationships with the Soviet Bloc, took positions at odds with US
interests, and entered the scene of Third World internationalism.
Drawing on archival research from Mexico, the United States, and
Britain, Zolov gives a broad perspective on the multitudinous,
transnational forces that shaped Mexican political culture in ways
that challenge standard histories of the period.
