His current research focuses on the question of whether foreign governments and international institutions can improve property rights systems inside sovereign countries. Kevin J.

“The four authors have brought together their different disciplinary strengths and their considerable scholarly gifts to produce an interesting new take on what has by now become a familiar story about Mexico's dramatic shift from protectionism to free markets, and from authoritarianism to democracy...The argument is persuasive, well documented, and a mostly readable account of Mexico's transformation...an excellent contribution to our understanding of this period in Mexican history, and, more generally, to the political economy literature.” -Kathleen Bruhn, University of California Santa Barbara, Comparative Politics Book Reviews
