Learning the Wisdom to Seize the Moment: How Negotiators Encourage the Learning of Practical Wisdom for Themselves and Others
Expert negotiators and mediators need to create, recognize, and seize the moments that are critical for a successful negotiation or mediation. Doing so requires “practical wisdom”—a term that dates back to Aristotle—that cannot be “taught” in any simple or straightforward way. Such wisdom can only be learned through practice. This article considers how the practice of negotiation, and professional practice more generally, can be structured to enc…

Drug War Politics: The Price of Denial
Why have our drug wars failed and how might we turn things around? Ask the authors of this hard-hitting expose of U.S. efforts to fight drug trafficking and abuse. In a bold analysis of a century's worth of policy failure, Drug War Politics turns on its head many familiar bromides about drug politics. It demonstrates how, instead of learning from our failures, we duplicate and reinforce them in the same flawed policies. The authors examine the 'p…

Dead-End Drug Wars
The end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union have led to a fundamental reevaluation of U.S. security interests. In Latin America, the perceived security threat of the 1990s is not a revolutionary government or insurgency with alleged Soviet ties but a substance: illegal drugs. The spread of crack cocaine and the dramatic escalation of drug-related violence in the 1980s led first Ronald Reagan and then George Bush to declare …

The Drug War: Going After Supply—A commentary
The US Policymakers Working on the 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse Act have clearly understood that going after the suppliers of narcotics is only part of the war on drugs; until US domestic demand is diminished, it will be difficult to bring this lucrative and illicit multinational business under control. There is, however, general agreement that something must be done about supply and that interdiction of drug shipments to the United States is only one me…

The Post-Vietnam Formula under Siege: The Imperial Presidency and Central America
The Iran-contra affair made public an abuse of executive authority that began in 1981. The deeper issues raised by the trading of arms for hostages and the diversion of profits to the contras, however, harken back to the Vietnam period. The impact of the Vietnam war on our constitutional democracy, which culminated in the Watergate scandal and Richard Nixon's resignation, served as a warning of the dangers of an imperial presidency. This article …

Transnational Corporations versus the State: The Political Economy of the Mexican Auto Industry
The historical-structural method employed here rejects analyses that are excessively voluntaristic or deterministic. The authors show that while the state was able to mitigate certain adverse consequences of TNC strategies, new forms of dependency continued to limit Mexico's options. Originally published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the …

The State as Banker and Entrepreneur: The Last-Resort Character of the Mexican State's Economic Intervention, 1917-76
There is a growing body of evidence to demonstrate that the state that was consolidated in the wake of the Revolution deliberately created and has continued to nurture a national bourgeoisie which has been a major force in the spectacular economic growth (the Mexican miracle) of the past four decades, growth that has had little or no benefit for-indeed some argue was built on the backs of-the lower classes.' And yet, paradoxically, the capitalist…
Agenda Setting and Bargaining Power: The Mexican State Versus Transnational Automobile Corporations
The authors explore the often conflictual bargaining relations between transnational corporations and host governments of less developed countries. They focus particular attention on the conflict that surrounded the creation of the Mexican automobile industry (1960–1964), criticizing and reformulating a current approach to these issues. The argument proceeds in two parts—agenda setting and bargaining power. Each part is organized around a central…
Transnational corporations and the political economy of export promotion: The case of the Mexican automobile industry
Export promotion has replaced import substitution as the orthodox strategy for economic development. In sectors dominated by transnational corporations, however, such a strategy may run afoul of difficulties not immediately apparent from the neo-classical comparative-advantage perspective that has provided its principal theoretical support. Evidence from the Mexican automobile industry shows that an export promotion policy may face problems of a)…
