In this major contribution to Mexican political history, he draws on that database to present a definitive account of the paths to power Mexican political leaders pursued during the period 1884 to 1992.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCamp's research clarifies the patterns of political recruitment in Mexico, showing the consequences of choosing one group over another. It calls into question numerous traditional assumptions, including that upward political mobility was a cause of the Mexican Revolution of 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComparing Mexican practices with those in several East Asian countries also allows Camp to question many of the tenets of political recruitment theory. His book will be of interest to students not only of Mexican politics but also of history, comparative politics, political leadership, and Third World development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roderic Ai Camp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292711735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292711730\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.02w x 0.91d","brand":"Roderic Ai Camp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913555050751,"sku":"9780292711730","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_12c6f138-ab50-4cc4-8e11-4a44bf99aef4.jpg?v=1680621026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-recruitment-across-two-centuries-roderic-ai-camp-9780292711730","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
