He leaves a living legacy of a series that for over 20 years has provided a trusted, stimulating and well-loved accompaniment to post-16 study. Our aim with these new editions for the IB is to continue to offer students the best possible support for their studies. 1 9781444182347.indb 1 19/12/13 11:22 AM Introduction This book has been written to support your study of HL option 3: Aspects of the history of the Americas: The Mexican Revolution 1910–40 of the IB History Diploma Route 2. This introduction gives you an overview of: % the content you will study for The Mexican Revolution 1910–40 % how you will be assessed for Paper 3 % the different features of this book and how these will aid your learning. 1 What you will study This book focuses on what led to the Mexican Revolution, the major events and participants of the confl ict and its social, political and economic impact. The long and violent revolution had disparate causes, both regional and national, and like other twentieth-century revolutions, it took many years before the goals of the Revolution were realised, even if only partially. Nonetheless, the Mexican Revolution did spawn one of the most progressive constitutions and signifi cant land and educational reforms. It also served as a model for the nationalization of key resources for other Latin American countries and inspired artists, writers and musicians to assume political roles. The book: G begins by discussing the causes of the Mexican Revolution, with a focus on the regime of Porfi rio Díaz (1876–1910) and how several of his policies led to the collapse of traditional Mexican politics (Chapter 1) G examines in detail the Revolution and its leaders; the ideological foundation of each leader and the degree to which each was successful is explored, and the Constitution of 1917 is also studied (Chapter 2) G details the construction of the post-revolutionary state from 1920–34; several presidents slowly and methodically tried to institutionalize the Revolution – the successes and failures of their political, social and economic programs are explored; additionally, the Catholic peasant uprising known as the Cristero Revolt is detailed (Chapter 3) G analyses the signifi cant changes that took place under the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas from 1934–40; land reform, educational initiatives and the nationalization of key industries are examined (Chapter 4) G inserts the Mexican Revolution in the international context, 1910–40, and examines the nature of foreign intervention in Mexico during the Revolution, from Germany, the USA, Argentina, Brazil and Chile (Chapter 5) 2 9781444182347.indb 2 19/12/13 11:22 AM Introduction G discusses the impact of the Revolution on women, the arts, and José Vasconcelos’ educational reforms (Chapter 6).

Articles The Movement that Sinned Twice: The Cristero War and Mexican Collective Memory By Consuelo S. Moreno Abstract: Many scattered occurrences in Mexico bring to memory the 1926-1929 Cristero War, the contentious armed struggle between the revolutionary government and the Catholic Church. After the conflict ceased, the Cristeros and their legacy did not become part of Mexico’s national identity. This article explores the factors why this war became a distant memory rather than a part of Mexico’s history. Dissipation of Cristero groups and organizations, revolutionary social reforms in the 1930s, and the intricate relationship between the state and Church after 1929 promoted a silence surrounding this historical event. Decades later, a surge in Cristero literature led to the identification of notable Cristero figures in the 1990s and early 2000s.

  • Chapter 6. Agricultural Policy and Rural Poverty– 139
    Chapter 6. Agricultural policy and rural poverty– 139 Chapter 6. Agricultural policy and rural poverty Introduction There are several reasons to expect that agricultural policies have an impact on rural poverty in Mexico, and this view is widely held. First, the high incidence of poverty in rural areas and the fact that agriculture is a rural activity means that the two overlap in spatial terms. Consequently, many poor people are involved in agriculture, and a part of total agricultural output is provided by poor land-owners and poor labourers. Second, the historical role of the land tenure system in Mexico to redistribute wealth is closely connected to the agricultural sector for which land is a critical input: the process of dividing land holdings has an impact on agriculture, and the evolution of agriculture affects returns to land. These associations give rise to an expectation that agricultural policies can, should or do alleviate poverty in rural areas. Thus, while the focus of this study is on agricultural policies, and previous chapters have discussed their effects on the agricultural sector and commodity markets, in this chapter the effects of agricultural policies on rural poverty is explored in terms of the incidence of support. The focus on agricultural policy is maintained, save in those cases where programmes provided outside the confines of sectoral policy provide an important benchmark, so this assessment is strictly relevant to the impacts of agricultural policies on rural poverty.1 Moreover, the direct effects of income transfers are addressed, not second-round effects; the potential that an agricultural policy would generate greater regional short- or long-run economic growth that helps poorer people indirectly, by raising their wages for example, is not entertained here.2 Evidence shows that the reforms to agricultural policies brought about substantial improvements in the distribution of transfers, but this success is relative to a basis that, as of the early 1990s, exhibited a pronounced bias against the rural poor.

    TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 14, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Hillar Yllo Schwertner All Rights Reserved ii TIJUANDIEGO: WATER, CAPITALISM, AND URBANIZATION IN THE CALIFORNIAS, 1848-1982 Hillar Yllo Schwertner, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: John Tutino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This is a history of Tijuandiego—the transnational metropolis set at the intersection of the United States, Mexico, and the Pacific World. Separately, Tijuana and San Diego constitute distinct but important urban centers in their respective nation-states. Taken as a whole, Tijuandiego represents the southwestern hinge of North America. It is the continental crossroads of cultures, economies, and environments—all in a single, physical location. In other words, Tijuandiego represents a new urban frontier; a space where the abstractions of the nation-state are manifested—and tested—on the ground. In this dissertation, I adopt a transnational approach to Tijuandiego’s water history, not simply to tell “both sides” of the story, but to demonstrate that neither side can be understood in the absence of the other. I argue that the drawing of the international boundary in 1848 established an imbalanced political ecology that favored San Diego and the United States over Tijuana and Mexico. The land and water resources wrested by the United States gave it tremendous geographical and ecological advantages over its reeling southern neighbor, advantages which would be used to strengthen U.S.

All rights reserved. www.elsevier.com/locate/worlddev http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2015.08.013 Authoritarian Survival and Poverty Traps: Land Reform in Mexico MICHAEL ALBERTUS a, ALBERTO DIAZ-CAYEROS b, BEATRIZ MAGALONI b and BARRY R. WEINGAST b,* a University of Chicago, USA b Stanford University, USA Summary. — Why do governments in underdeveloped countries pursue policies that undercut long-term economic growth? Focusing on Mexico’s massive but inefficient land reform, we argue that governments do so to underpin political survival. Using a panel dataset of Mexican states from 1917 to 1992, we find that land distribution was higher during election years and where the threat of rural unrest was greater. Furthermore, PRI support eroded more slowly in states receiving more reform. The program, which carried restrictive property rights, thus served the PRI regime’s electoral interests. But while land distribution generated a loyal political clientele, it generated steep costs – lower long-term economic growth. Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
