Of Paradoxes, Dilemmas, and Comparisons: Essays in Honor of Kevin Middlebrook

“This edited volume does more than pay tribute to Kevin Middlebrook, a great scholar and beloved colleague. It draws on Middlebrook’s work to offer fresh insights into Mexican labor relations, comparative politics in Latin America, and U.S.–Latin American relations, particularly the North American Free Trade Agreement. It examines new data and cases on militarization, conservative parties and democracy, and the USMCA. For readers interested in Middlebrook’s legacy, and for students of Latin American politics generally, this is a valuable collection.” — Professor Tom Long, University of Warwick “For almost fifty years, with exceptional insight and analysis, the late Kevin Middlebrook explored the twists and turns of Latin American politics; this magnificent volume continues his scholarly journey.
