POLSC 441 - Mexican Politics


Credits: 4
An examination of contemporary Mexican politics. Mexico transitioned to an electoral democracy in 2000. While some significant institutional reforms were made, many authoritarian patterns and practices continued into the democratic period. In this course, students examine Mexico’s historical development, traditional practices of its authoritarian system, market reforms, democratization, and the bi-lateral relationship with the U.S. We also analyze major challenges of the current period, including indigenous rights, migration, and the violent drug wars.
