On the Left

I have a piece on what Mexico State means to the left at Americas Quarterly. I'm not optimistic.

I'd also like to highlight an article I linked to in the above piece, about the moderation of the average Mexican voter versus the polarization of the elite, written by political scientists Kathleen Bruhn and Kenneth Greene in the aftermath of the 2006 elections. Four years after I first read it, their article remains one of the more insightful pieces I've read on Mexican politics in a long time.
