Mexico: The Struggle for Democratic Development
Daniel C. Levy and Kathleen Bruhn
University of California Press, 2006

(with Emilio Zebadua)

"This engaging book provides a broad and accessible analysis of Mexico's contemporary struggle for democratic development. Now completely revised, it gives an up-to-date account of issues ranging from electoral reform and corruption to drug trafficking, migration, and NAFTA. It also considers the rapidly changing roles of Mexico's mass and elite groups and its national institutions, including the media, the military, and the Church." (Summary courtesy of the publisher)

Review of the first edition
"A wonderful guide to the social, economic, and political changes in contemporary Mexico. It goes a long way to explaining the rise of narco-traffic, the victory of Fox, and the transformation of the Mexican economy in the 1990s."

&mdash Miguel Antonio Centeno, author of Democracy within Reason: Technocratic Revolution in Mexico
