OVERPRICED
Unless you're a Mexico policy wonk or a college student, there's no reason to buy this book. It's ridiculously priced, tiny, and difficult to read.

This review is from: Insurgency, Authoritarianism, and Drug Trafficking in Mexico's Democratization (Latin American Studies: Social Sciences & Law) (Hardcover)
This is a really complete book on Mexico's obstacles to democratization. I'm from Italy and I've been studying Mexico for my thesis: this is the best book I've read to get to understand this country and its unsolved problems. It explains insurgency and drug trafficking with the lack of democracy and socioeconomic equality, challenging the mainstream litterature on democratization with a very documented plot of themes and facts. It also provides an interesting solution, based on a redistributive agenda. Even if time has gone on and the drug wars have been getting worse and worse after the publication of this book, it's also very useful to explain the current "state of siege" of Mexico.
