  • Desplazamiento forzado indígena purépecha por la inseguridad en Michoacán

    Open AccessJohn A Ochoa, Casimiro Leco Tomás et al.ARTICLERa Ximhai2025

    Este artículo analiza el desplazamiento forzado de indígenas purépechas en Michoacán (2020-2025) como manifestación de una violencia estructural histórica, arraigada en despojos coloniales y agravada por el capitalismo criminal contemporáneo. Mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas, historias de vida y observación participante con comunidades como Cherán y Nahuatzen, se evidencia que el crimen organizado —en colusión con autoridades y empresas— us…

    Open AccessHugo Amador Herrera Torres, Hugo Herrera Torres et al.ARTICLEEspiral estudios sobre Estado y…2022

The analysis method is composed of two steps: selection of the key functions that are required for the implementation of economic processes and definition of the degree of State intervention in these functions. The results in…

  • Debilidad institucional y experiencia anticrimen en México

    Open AccessJohn A Ochoa, M GomezARTICLEURVIO - Revista Latinoamericana…2021

    El presente artículo analiza la relación entre corrupción política y narcotráfico en México, a partir del caso del estado de Michoacán. Se observa que, pese a la continuidad de la violencia, el Estado mexicano ha hecho poco por atender sistemáticamente sus causas estructurales. No se ha mejorado el estado de derecho, ni se han fortalecido las instituciones autónomas del Estado. Los poderes legislativos, en sus niveles locales y federales, continú…

  • Cultural indicators of personal development and wellbeing in México, Spain and Germany

    Open AccessJohn A Ochoa, Jaime Bravo DéctorARTICLEREVISTA QUAESTIO IURIS2020

    The present article discusses the main proposals for constructing cultural indicators in Mexico, Spain and Germany, and contrasts them to the indicators used for gathering cultural statistics. It became clear that individual indicators of development and wellbeing have not been developed, or at least not at a level plausible for their application, though two decades have passed since Pattanaik proposed them for the area of culture. This paper off…

  • Local democracy, crime and violence in Mexico

    Open AccessJohn A Ochoa, Jerjes Aguirre Ochoa et al.ARTICLEPolítica criminal2016Cited by: 1

    This paper analyzes the relationship between organized crime and municipal governments in Mexico. Specifically, we study the case of the municipality of Apatzingán in the state of Michoacán from a qualitative perspective that reveals the historical depth of institutional weakness in Mexico and the lack of consolidation of democratic institutions; two conditions that have created an enabling environment for the activities of criminal groups. This …

  • Professors on the Run

    John A OchoaARTICLEComparative American Studies An…2013References: 12

    This article examines the communiqués issued by Subcomandante Marcos during the early years of the Zapatista rebellion in Mexico (1992–1998). It addresses a double voice, and a double mission, of these internet pronouncements: first, as a tool for a local Indigenous uprising in the state of Chiapas; second, as a part of a much broader anti-neoliberal and anti-neo-imperialist struggle. The article argues that the unusual interlacing of a local, al…

  • The Uses of Failure in Mexican Literature and Identity

    John A OchoaBOOKUses of Failure in Mexican…2005

    While the concept of defeat in the Mexican literary canon is frequently acknowledged, it has rarely been explored in the fullness of the psychological and religious contexts that define this aspect of "mexicanidad." Going beyond the simple narrative of self-defeat, The Uses of Failure in Mexican Literature and Identity presents a model of failure as a source of knowledge and renewed self-awareness. Studying the relationship between national ident…
