Between the Washington, post-Washington, and Wall Street Consensus in the Covid era
This article discusses the policy choices of Left-Centre president Andres Manuel López Obrador (known as AMLO) in Mexico in the context of the neoliberal institutional legacy that his administration inherited. The persistence of neoliberalism under the AMLO government is manifest in the monetary and financial policies pursued—particularly in the context of the pandemic—that merge successive neoliberal approaches with socioeconomic regulation, nam…
Uneven Landscapes of Violence
Winner of the 2021 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award In contrast to analyses that view systemic violence in Mexico as simply the result of drugs and criminality, a deviation of a well-functioning market economy and/or a failing and corrupt state, Muñoz Martínez argues in Uneven Landscapes of Violence that the nexus of criminality, illegality and violence is integral to neoliberal state formation. It was through this nexus that dispossession…

Estimating the Proportion of a Categorical Variable With Probit Regression
This article discusses the estimation of a population proportion, using the auxiliary information available, which is incorporated into the estimation procedure by a probit model fit. Three probit regression estimators are considered, using model-based and model-assisted approaches. The theoretical properties of the proposed estimators are derived and discussed. Monte Carlo experiments were carried out for simulated data and for real data taken f…
Global frameworks, local strategies
The article examines how civil society organisations in Argentina used the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) to frame the country's failure to enact strong national tobacco control legislation as a violation of women's rights in the late 2000s. We analyze this case study through the politics of scale, namely the social processes that produce, reproduce, and contest the boundaries of …
The importance of the ”strategic game” to frame the political discourse in Twitter during 2015 Spanish Regional Elections
There is broad consensus on the idea that Twitter, an online communication tool for campaigning, is significantly impacting the interaction between political candidates and citizens (Parmelee & Bichard, 2011; Enli & Skogerbo, 2013; Kruikemeier et. al., 2013). Despite the importance of the strategic use of framing tweets on followers’ opinions, framing approach research applied to microblogging requires further investigation on national and local …
Hedging neoliberalism
This article fills the gap in the critical political economy literature by acknowledging the adoption of derivatives as state policy in middle-income countries such as Mexico. The article argues that the Mexican state has turned derivatives into a policy instrument to deal with the capitalist contradictions intensified by neoliberalism. This has created a particular institutional setting that favours large firms and financial investors over worki…
The politics of scale, place, and mobility in the Mexican peace movement, 2006-2012
This article explores social mobilization by the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity (MPJD) and United Forces for our Disappeared in Coahuila (FUUNDEC) between 2006 and 2012. Places and experiences at different geographical scales are important to social mobilization in Mexico because state authorities have used intricate scales of government, legislation, and decentralization to set the conditions for the prevalence of impunity and the l…

El relato de los movimientos sociales
This work shows the ideological profile of autorepresentation messages of the indignados movement that emerged in Spain in 2011. It analyzes the ideological discourse of the calls lanched by Democracia Real Ya (DRY), and focuses on how it defines itself and how it represents its enemies or opponents. The aim is to determine how widespread calls were configured as ideological discourses. Results show that these calls followed the classical discurs…
La retórica emocional de la esposa del candidato
This research focuses on the emotional story building process based on the textual analysis of candidates for First Lady, Ann Romney and Michelle Obama, speeches that were pronounced during the Republican and Democratic conventions of the U.S. presidential campaign of 2012. The main objective is to identify the emotional markers included in the texts delivered respectively in each of these conventions that affect the semantic, morphosyntactic and…
Capital Fixity and Mobility in Response to the 2008–09 Crisis
This paper examines the responses to the 2008–09 global financial crisis in Mexico and Turkey as examples of variegated neoliberalism. The simultaneous interests of corporations and banks in the national fixing of capital and their mobility in the form of global investment heavily influenced these states' policy responses to the crisis at the expense of the interests of the poor, workers, and peasantry. Rather than pitching this as evidence of ei…
Neoliberal reforms, currency pegs and crisis in Mexico and Argentina
This article argues that exchange rate regimes established by the Mexican peso currency band and the Argentinean Convertibility Plan were key dimensions of the political strategies of neoliberal structural reform through which discipline was imposed on workers and the state. By subordinating wage struggles and state spending to the maintaining of currency pegs, the stabilisation programmes helped to redefine the balances between capital and labou…
