Political geography of violence: Municipal politics and homicide in Brazil
Geo-Nested Analysis: Mixed-Methods Research with Spatially Dependent Data
Mixed-methods designs, especially those where cases selected for small-N analysis (SNA) are nested within a large-N analysis (LNA), have become increasingly popular. Yet, since the LNA in this approach assumes that units are independently distributed, such designs are unable to account for spatial dependence, and dependence becomes a threat to inference, rather than an issue for empirical or theoretical investigation. This is unfortunate, since r…

Networked Justice: Judges, the Diffusion of Ideas, and Legal Reform Movements in Mexico
Existing research shows that the ideas of judges shape their behaviour. A natural next question to ask is, where do these ideas come from? Yet, there is little empirical evidence regarding the content and distribution of these ideas and even less evidence regarding the sources of these ideas, especially how ideas transfer or diffuse among judges. In this article, a survey of judges in the Mexican state of Michoacán generates original data on the …
Mandates, Geography, and Networks: Diffusion of Criminal Procedure Reform in Mexico
Why have some Mexican states proceeded faster than others in the revolutionary transformation of overhauling criminal procedure? Contributing an original index of criminal procedure reform across Mexico's 32 states from 2002 to 2011 and building on existing research on policy diffusion, this article seeks to answer this question. It finds that the 2008 constitutional reform at the federal level exerts a strong positive effect (federal mandate); b…

Democratic Institutions Beyond the Nation State: Measuring Institutional Dissimilarity in Federal Countries
The persistence of subnational undemocratic regimes in new democracies has recently revived interest in intra-national patterns of democratization. This article offers new data and a methodological contribution to this literature, emphasizing the measurement of institutional variation across territorial units and levels of government. Developing new measures of the unevenness of democratic institutions within individual countries, and illustratin…
Crafting Courts in New Democracies: Ideology and Judicial Council Reforms in Three Mexican States
Existing explanations of judicial reform emphasize the positive effects of electoral competition. However, multiple, competing, and even contradictory mechanisms behind this association obfuscate causation, and variation in the timing and content of reforms remains puzzling for these accounts. Leveraging a “most similar” comparative design at the subnational level across three Mexican states, and drawing on archival analysis and 61 interviews wit…
Political Intelligence and the Creation of Modern Mexico, 1938-1954
Conventional wisdom says that the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruled Mexico uniformly and unopposed from 1929 to 2000 and that, unlike in other Latin American countries, the military quietly receded to the barracks and played no major role in politics since the Revolution of 1910 – 17, marking Mexico’s exceptionalism in the region. Aaron Navarro tackles both of these beliefs and formulates a new understanding of a crucial period in the…
