Poder regional y política nacional en México

An excellent analysis of the nature and scope of Mexican social assistance programs, recent systemic changes, political implications and future considerations.

RESUMEN: Entre los principales factores de las luchas independentistas figuran las tendencias socioeconómicas de la época, el ideario de la Ilustración, las rivalidades entre los imperios europeos y los nacionalismos que empezaban a surgir tanto en Europa como en América. Los orígenes, el desarrollo y las consecuencias de esta peculiaridad son analizados acuciosamente por Ernesto de la Torre Villar.
