Recenzje

"A fascinating study of Mexico's transition to democracy." -- Foreign Affairs
"Why has the United States done so little for so long to promote democracy in Mexico? Jacqueline Mazza skillfully explores this surprisingly neglected question in an important contribution to the literature on U.S. democracy promotion and U.S.-Latin American relations. - Thomas Carothers, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace."
"Mazza's insightful book sheds considerable light on both the possibilities and limitations of US efforts to promote democracy in Mexico. It is a fascinating case study, cogently argued and richly documented, that should be read by practitioners and analysts alike. -Michael Shifter, Senior Fellow, Inter-American Dialogue."
"Through extensive interviews and research in primary materials, Mazza has done a superb job in demonstrating that a deeply ingrained, unspoken 'operational code' shaped a U.S. policy of pragmatic passivity with respect to Mexico's so-called 'perfect dictatorship.' - John Bailey, Professor of Government, Georgetown University."
