Monarch congratulates Senior Advisor Pamela Starr on the publication of her new book, The Making of Mexico, now available on Amazon and Polity.

In this timely and insightful book, Dr. Starr examines the unwritten rules of behavior that drive Mexico’s politics, economy, and foreign policy. Tracing the origins of these behavioral forces in history, she shows how they characterize Mexico’s foreign relations and security challenges as well as explain the strengths and weaknesses of its institutions. Amid growing pressure for reform and tumultuous U.S.–Mexico relations, Dr. Starr gets to the heart of the forces influencing decision-making in Mexico’s current regime, known as the Fourth Transformation. Her fresh and concise analysis of Mexico – its historic trajectory and contemporary political landscape – unpacks why this modern market economy behaves as it does.

At Monarch, Dr. Starr’s deep understanding of Mexico’s political landscape helps inform the strategic insights we deliver to our clients. We are proud to see her expertise reach a broader audience through this book and congratulate her on this achievement.
