The 1988 presidential election in Mexico was the beginning of a new
era in Mexican history. In this volume, scholars and political
practitioners explore the implications of the election for the
Mexican political system and for Mexico's international
relationships, especially with the United States. In particular,
the contributors examine the reasons for the explosive changes in
the electoral system and discuss the political inheritance of
President Salinas de Gortari.
The Los Angeles riots in the Spring of 1992 were among the most
violent and destructive events in twentieth-century urban America.
This collection of original essays by leading urban experts offers
the first comprehensive analysis of the unrest that took place
after a jury acquitted the police officers who were accused of

To understand contemporary Mexico, it is absolutely necessary to
examine its level of development, and its relationship with the
rest of the world. The level of development will, most likely, be
related to the world system network, although the concepts are not
identical. In Understanding Mexico and Mexico City in the World
Economy, the authors aim to determine Mexico's level of
development, and how Mexico fits into the world system.Through
their research, the authors provide outcomes that will develop a
more refined world systems approach. The book features cluster
analyses of Mexican economic development levels, sector case
studies including specific spatial analyses and maps of trends in
Mexico, a systematic theoretic framework encompassing levels of the
world, national, and local areas, and recent data presented through
maps, tables, charts, and statistical summaries. The text will
prove to be useful and practical for researchers, academics, and
others interested in Mexico and its international linkages.
In this timely volume, the authors provide a penetrating analysis
of the institutional mechanisms perpetuating the related problems
of minorities' disenfranchisement and their underrepresentation on
juries.
What are the effects on an isolated region when an entirely new and
major energy resource is developed to commercial proportions? What
happens to the population, the economy, the environment, the
community, and societal relations? How does the government frame
work respond, the family structure adapt, the economy expand, and
life styles change under the impact of new forces which hold a prom
ise of much benefit and a risk of adverse consequences? Imperial
County, California, has a population of less than 90,000 people.
This population has been exceptionally stable for years, cen tered
as it is in an agricultural and recreational framework. The county
is somewhat cut off from other areas by geographic barriers of
moun'" tains and desert, by state and natural boundaries, and is
the most remote of all 58 counties of California from the state
capitol, Sacra mento. In the decade of the 1950s, geographical
explorations for oil re vealed some anomalous structures underlying
the desert and agricul tural areas in Imperial County. These, when
drilled, seemed to be oil less and hot, and so lacked
attractiveness to petroleum wildcatters. In the decade of the
1960s, Dr.

of minorities' disenfranchisement and their underrepresentation on
juries.
This book details the painful, torturous, and often unbelievable
turn of events in the McMartin sexual molestation case. It offers a
critical window on Salem by the Sea, revealing how civil society
and the criminal justice system have mindlessly and brutally dealt
with young children, their parents, defendants, and their families
under the guise of pursuing justice and equity.
