Studying governance means probing the pattern of rights and obligations that underpins organizations and social systems; understanding how they coordinate their parallel activities and maintain their coherence; exploring the sources of dysfunction; and suggesting ways to redesign organizations whose governance is in need of repair. The series welcomes a range of contributions — from conceptual and theoretical reflections, ethnographic and case studies, and proceedings of conferences and symposia, to works of a very practical nature — that deal with problems or issues on the governance front. The series publishes works both in French and in English. The Governance Series is part of the publications division of the Centre on Governance and of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. This volume is the 23rd volume published in the Series.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s}". if it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Mexican Revolution
    MEXICAN REVOLUTION Why did the United States oppose the Mexican Revolution, and was it successful in achieving its goals? Viewpoint: The United States opposed the Mexican Revolution because American business interests in Mexico were threatened. Viewpoint: Despite President Woodrow Wilson's desire to influence political events in Mexico, American involvement had little direct impact on the Mexi- can Revolution. On 26 February 1917 the United States received from British intelligence officers an intercepted telegram. Sent by German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to the German ambassador in Mexico, the telegram proposed an alliance with Venustiano Carranza's government. If Carranza would sup- port Germany in its war against England and France, Germany would support Mexico against the United States and help Mexico recapture the provinces of Texas, California, and New Mexico, lost to the United States in 1848. The telegram inflamed American opinion and tilted the United States toward war against Germany. When Zimmerman sent his telegram in January 1917, there was an American army in Mexico, and the U.S. and Mexican gov- ernments had not enjoyed close relations since the Mexican Revolution had begun in 1911. What was the Mexican Revolution all about and how did the United States respond to it? In these two essays, two different views of American responses to the Mexican Revolution are presented. In the first essay, scholar Robert D. Alli- son analyzes American business investments in Mexico and theorizes that the United States became involved in the revolution as a way to protect those investments. In the second essay scholar Lonna Douglass argues that Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson took a peculiar interest in Mexico as a way of demon- strating his ideas about national honor and purpose.

  • Congress and Woodrow Wilson's Military Forays Into Mexico An
    Congress and Woodrow Wilson’s Military Forays into Mexico An Introductory Essay By Don Wolfensberger Congress Project Seminar On Congress and U.S. Military Interventions Abroad Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Monday, May 17, 2004 One of the chief objects of my administration will be to cultivate the friendship and deserve the confidence of our sister republics of Central and South America....We hold...that just government always rests upon the consent of the governed and that there can be no freedom without order based upon law and upon the public conscience and approval. We shall look to make these principles the basis of mutual intercourse, respect, and helpfulness between our sister republics and ourselves. –President Woodrow Wilson (March, 1913) * * * I am going to teach the South American republics to elect good men! –President Woodrow Wilson (Nov., 1913) President Woodrow Wilson is perhaps best known as the president who led the United States to victory in the First World War but then failed to win ratification of the peace treaty by refusing to compromise with the Senate on the League of Nations Covenant (Article X). He is less known for some of his earlier military exploits in Latin America. And yet, as some historians have noted, those incidents perhaps hold the key to his evolving world view and America’s place in it as the shining beacon of democracy and freedom. Historian Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., sums it up as follows: Wilson’s idealism gradually acquired the character of a stern, crusading, self- righteousness–resulting,

    Guide to a Microfilm Edition of The Mexican Mission Papers Of John Lind DEBORAH K. NEUBECK Minnesota Historical Society . St. Paul . 1971 Copyright, 1971 © by the Minnesota Historical Society Standard Book Number: 87351-066-6 - -_.. _.. _-------- Introduction It was in 1913 -- the "hours of Mexico's agony" -- that President Woodrow Wilson selected as his personal representative in that troubled land John Lind, a midwestern progressive and former Min­ nesota governor and representative in Congress~ Three years of turmoil and civil warfare had seen the end of the thirty-five-year dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz and the deposing of his more demo­ cratic successor, Francisco I. Madero. Mexico's government in 1913 was in the hands of the most recently successful revolution­ ary, General Victoriano Huerta, whose position as provisional president was even then being challenged by rebellious forces led by Venustiano Carranza. Wilson refused to recognize the government of Huerta, a man who antithesized the president's democratic ideals and moralistic concept of the United States' interests in Mexico. Instead he formulated a mediation plan with the immediate objective of remov­ ing Huerta from power. To implement his Mexican policy, Wilson chose Lind, a fair­ haired, blue-eyed Scandinavian whose ideals were completely com­ patible with his own. Lind's Mexican sojourn began in August, 1913, and ended eight months later in April, 1914. Functioning in an alien culture and innocent of diplomatic experience, the Minne­ sotan was not able to achieve the goals set forth in the mediation plan. After Huerta rejected Wilson's scheme, Lind's role changed to that of an adviser and observer reporting to the United States State Department.
