Notes

1. The baseline study for recent economic trends is Clark W. Reynolds, The Mexican Economy: Twentieth Century Structure and Growth (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1970). Important works of more recent vintage are Fernando Fajnzylber and Trinidad Martínez Tarragó, Las empresas transnacionales: expansión a nivel mundial y proyección en la industria mexicana (Mexico City: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1976); Rosario Green, El endeudamiento público externo de México 1940–1973 (Mexico City: El Colegio de México, 1976); Mario Ramírez Rancaño, Crecimiento económico e inestabilidad política en México (Mexico City: UNAM, 1977); Carlos Tello, La política económica en México: 1970–1976 (Mexico City: Siglo XXI, 1979); Leopoldo Solís, Economic Policy Reform in Mexico: A Case Study for Developing Countries (Elmsford, New York: Pergamon Press, 1980).

2. Frank R. Brandenburg, The Making of Modern Mexico (Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 1964); Robert E. Scott, Mexican Government in Transition (Urbana, Illinois: University of Illinois Press, 1964); Vincent L. Padgett, The Mexican Political System (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1966); Martin C. Needier, Politics and Society in Mexico (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1971); Roger D. Hansen, The Politics of Mexican Development (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1971).

3. Johnson cites Bay's The Structure of Freedom (New York: Atheneum, 1968), and acknowledges the intellectual influence of Oscar Monroy Rivera, especially in El señor presidente de Enanonia (Mexico City: Costa-Amic, 1973).

4. See Rosenau's “Foreign Policy as an Issue Area,” in J. N. Rosenau, ed., Domestic Sources of Foreign Policy (New York: The Free Press, 1967), pp. 11–50.

5. See Modesto Seara Vásquez, La política exterior de México: la práctica de México en el derecho internacional (México: Esfinge, 1969). The serious student of Mexican foreign policy should also be familiar with Mario Ojeda's Alcances y límites de la política exterior de México (Mexico City: El Colegio de México, 1976) which was published after Shapira's volume was in print and is not treated.

6. Economists have been swifter than political scientists to begin to examine the consequences of oil income for the country. See Centro de Estudios Internacionales, Las perspectivas del petróleo mexicano (Mexico City: El Colegio de México, 1979); Economía Mexicana, Revista del Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE), I:1 (March 1979); Sócrates Rizzo and Leopoldo Solís, “Opciones de economía política,” Documentos de Investigación, Banco de México, 12 (September 1979); and Solís, Alternativas para el desarrollo (Mexico City: Editorial Joaquín Mortiz, 1980), especially pp. 47–72.
