Globalization, Democracy, and Mexican Welfare, 1988–2006
Like many Latin American countries, Mexico not only underwent significant economic and political liberalization over the last two decades, but also transformed its welfare regime. This transformation included extensive reforms and seemingly contradictory trends. While social insurance underwent retrenchment, social assistance was ex panded.1 Mexico's privatization of its public pension system is recognized as one of the most extensive in the regi…
International Organizations and Social Insurance in Mexico
AB STRACT How do international organizations (IOs) influence domestic social policy? This article answers this question using a comparison of IO participation in the social insurance policy making process in Mexico in the 1940s and 1990s. There are similarities and differences between the periods. During both periods, IOs contributed technical expertise to the policy design process. The principal IO participating in policy discussions and the mea…
Apsa Teaching and Learning Track Summaries—Track Four: Teaching Research Methods
A diverse group of 25 faculty and graduate students participated in the 2008 Teaching Research Methods (TRM) track. Participants represented a range of institutions—public and private, urban and rural, domestic and international, large research universities and teaching colleges. Presentations provided evidence of the heterogeneity in methods instruction and of pedagogical innovations in course design and delivery. The discussion in this year's m…
Retrenchment, Expansion and the Transformation of Mexican Social Protection Policies
Social protection policies in Mexico have been transformed since 1988 through partial retrenchment of social insurance and significant expansion of targeted or means‐tested social assistance. These changes reflect a substantial redefinition of social protection through incremental changes in policy. The changes reflect the abandonment of the goal of developing an employment‐based, universal welfare regime, which had been pursued by Mexican govern…
All-Knowing or All-Nurturing? Student Expectations, Gender Roles, and Practical Suggestions for Women in the Classroom
Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) often have important effects on promotion, tenure, and merit raises, even if only through the negative effects that poor evaluations can have on these decisions (Langbein 1994). SETs can be affected by student characteristics (class, GPA, major, expected grade, gender), class characteristics (size, required, discipline, quantitative), and professor characteristics (age, gender, race, ethnicity, personality t…

The Political Origins of Social Security in Mexico during the Cárdenas and Ávila Camacho Administrations
This study compares efforts to adopt social insurance legislation in the administrations of Lázaro Cárdenas and Manuel Ávila Camacho in Mexico to explain the political origins of the welfare state in Latin America. The author argues that the adoption and implementation of social insurance in Mexico was the outcome of an implicit bargain between organized labor and the state following the 1940 presidential election. This bargain signifies the rebu…
La migration pour études, atout à La Réunion
Aujourd’hui comme hier, une part importante des émigrants au départ de La Réunion est constituée d’élèves et d’étudiants, à destination de la métropole essentiellement. Le coût élevé induit par une scolarisation loin de l’île constitue pourtant un frein important à un tel départ, de sorte que ces émigrants sont réputés appartenir aux couches sociales les plus favorisées de l’île. Cela est souvent perçu comme un facteur discriminatoire car certain…
Revolution or Contribution? Rational Choice Approaches in the Study of Latin American Politics
This article assesses the contributions of studies in the rational choice (RC) tradition to scholarly understanding of Latin American politics. It groups some representative works according to their use of RC assumptions, and also reviews some of the major works in the institutionalist tradition. It argues that works in the RC tradition have neither forced a major rethinking of established theories nor filled major lacunae, although they have ill…
Grand-Ilet, un isolat blanc des hauts de la Réunion
Grand-llet, a white isolât on the Upper Reunion Island ? The concept of isolât which has been defined only by genetics and hastely taken up by other sciences, is applied at Grand-llet, in the area of the Cirque of Salazie on Reunion Island. The study of natural and socio-cultural boundaries allows us to apprehend the particular features of this population rather than conclude on its isolation
