Redefining Mexican “Security”
Society, State, and Region Under NAFTA
(Lynne Rienner Publishers, 1997)
EME 1121
This pioneering effort to conceptualize unforeseen—and nontraditional—security issues in Mexico confronts what went unaddressed in virtually the entire debate surrounding the NAFTA negotiations: the process of redefining security in Mexico within the context of increased economic integration with the U.S. and Canada.
Grappling with the question of what “security” means in the Post-Cold War era, Rochlin discusses the economic dimensions of Mexican security concerns, the role of indigenous peoples, the evolution of democracy, military-civilian relations and human rights, feminist perspectives, environmental issues, and narcotrafficking, all within a historical context. His practical analysis—drawing heavily on a critical theory perspective, but borrowing as well from postmodernism and classical realism—is also an important contribution to the study of conflict resolution.
