Mexico: The Crisis of Development - A Case-Study of the Neo-Washington Consensus, Neoliberalism and Resistance in the New World Order

Despite mounting popular global resistance to neoliberalism in recent years, it has been given a breath of new life by its renewal in a 'neo-Washington consensus.' This book uses Mexico's experience as a case-study of the crisis of the neoliberal development model in the global South. The new neoliberalism with a 'human face' has brought neither social development nor substantial economic development to Mexico. As a result, active resistance increases while consent to the program diminishes. This study will engage in a theoretical explanation of how this crisis can be overcome.
