Mexico is currently undergoing a crisis of violence and insecurity
that poses serious threats to democratic transition and rule of
law. This is the first book to put these developments in the
context of post-revolutionary state-making in Mexico and to show
that violence in Mexico is not the result of state failure, but of
state-making. While most accounts of politics and the state in
recent decades have emphasized processes of transition,
institutional conflict resolution, and neo-liberal reform, this
volume lays out the increasingly important role of violence and
coercion by a range of state and non-state armed actors. Moreover,
by going beyond the immediate concerns of contemporary Mexico, this
volume pushes us to rethink longterm processes of state-making and
recast influential interpretations of the so-called golden years of
PRI rule. "Violence, Coercion, and State-Making in
Twentieth-Century Mexico" demonstrates that received wisdom has
long prevented the concerted and systematic study of violence and
coercion in state-making, not only during the last decades, but
throughout the post-revolutionary period. The Mexican state was
built much more on violence and coercion than has been
acknowledged--until now.
