Abstract
Why did dependency theory fail to take strong root among sociologists of
Mexico over the sixties and seventies; and why, in contrast, did Mexico’s
sociologists tend to study social movements and the state instead? Using these
questions as a starting point, this paper examines the divergent paths of
research on Mexico taken by both North American and Mexican sociologists
over the past several decades. In seeking the origins of these unique patterns,
the paper assesses the nation’s revolutionary history, the institutional training
of Mexican and North American sociologists, the corporativist and col-
lectivist structure of politics and society, the social and political activism of
Mexican sociologists, and the ruling party’s appropriation of dependency
rhetorics for its own political purposes. These unique legacies, in combination
with Mexico’s history of rapid and concentrated urbanization, are then ex-
amined with respect to their impact on recent and forthcoming research.
Among the highlighted studies are those that examine territorially based
struggles in cities and regions and their reciprocal impact on identity, col-
lective action, and political power.

tones. There are considerably fewer investigations of other social classes and
their domestic practices. Especially lacking are inward-oriented studies that
take local political problems and social conditions as their principal concern.

Yet there does appear to be one striking exception to this unequal develop-
ment of the literature: writing on Mexico.
A remarkable number of sociological works on Mexico are concerned with
domestic social and class forces and their impact on internal political con-
ditions. The Poverty of Revolution: The State and the Urban Poor in Mexico
(Eckstein 1988), Mexico: Class Formation, Capital Accumulation, and the

made important progress in this regard. Nor is it to say that domestic political
arrangements or internal class and social practices have been ignored by
sociologists examining other Latin American countries. Several US-based
sociologists, such as Maurice Zeitlin (1984), Carlos Waisman (1987), and
Mauricio Font (1990), pursue this methodology; and surely they have added
to an already sizeable body of internally oriented work on countries like
Chile, Argentina, and Brazil produced by those nations' own resident
sociologists. Moreover, even scholars employing the dependency or world-

system perspective have been known to focus on internal social and political
practices to a certain extent (Evans 1987, Corradi 1985, Cardoso & Faletto
1979, Evans 1979). Thus any purported general patterns of exceptionality in
the scholarship on Mexico may be a matter of degree and nuance more than a
sharp qualitative break.'
Nonetheless, a notable difference appears in the nature of sociological work
on Mexico, at least to the extent that a surprisingly large number of sociolog-
ists of Mexico explicitly depart from the general disciplinary preoccupation
with dependency and the world-system, and have done so almost from the
moment these paradigms hit the scene.
This departure, moreover, masks an additional and equally compelling
logic. For example, among those sociologists focusing on internal conditions
in Mexico, we see more Mexicans than Americans. Among those US
sociologists who do focus primarily on domestic concerns in Mexico, most
appear to be political sociologists who draw heavily on assumptions de-
veloped in the American politics tradition. US sociologists, consequently,
tend to be most preoccupied with the manipulative and authoritarian character
of the Mexican state. Their Mexican counterparts, in contrast, focus on a
broader range of domestic concerns, including social movements and urban-
based political problems, although they frequently analyze these issues with
respect to state power.
Given these unique patterns, the sociology of Mexico is worth examining in
greater detail, not only on its own merits but also for what it has to say about
the historical groundedness and dissemination of development ideas. It is of
course impossible to review all the sociological writings on Mexico in the
limited space available here. But we can use questions about the origins and
extent of Mexico's departure from the dependency tradition, and about the
differences between US and Mexican sociologists in this and other regards, to
organize material and partially limit our focus of study.
We begin by presenting sociological writings in their institutional setting
unique historical experiences and the waysthis also influenced the content of
sociological study, both USand Mexican. Weconclude with a discussion of
recent developmentsin Mexicansociology and their possible direction over
the next few years.
maingoal was "the search for a political course that will peacefully and civilly
resolve the major national problems" (1970:ix).

Revolution had unfolded and who throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s
continued to struggle for their rights (Harvey1990, Pfrez Arce1990). Indeed,
some of Mexico’s most respected sociologists gained their stature through
studies of peasants (Stavenhagen 1970, Bartra 1974, 1980, GfmezTagle
1974) and workers’ organizations (Basurto 1975, Trejo Delarbre 1986).
RMSbibliography of Mexico’ssocial movement literature showsthat close to
one half (159) of all studies were devoted to peasant or worker movements
(Koppen 1985).
The historical legacy of collective organization and social activism in
Mexico went beyond peasants and workers, however, and the work of
sociologists reflected this too. In Koppen’sbibliographic account, there were
a measurably large number of studies of urban social movements(65),
municipal movements(41), 3 indigenous movements(28), and movements
university workers(27) or university students (22). Less frequent in practice,
and thus less studied, were state workers movements (8) and religious move-
ments (3). Mosttelling, perhaps, were 10 studies of so-called rnovimientos
patronales. A literal translation of these wouldbe employers’movements,but
they are best understood as businessmen’sorganizations.
That such organizations were included in the RMSin a bibliography on
social movementssays as muchabout sociology in Mexicoas it does about
businessmen’s organizations. Social movementswere so embeddedin the
institutional politics and everyday practice of Mexicansociety that they
becamethe conceptual point of departure for sociological studies of a remark-
ably broad range of phenomona,including the private sector. In the United
States, studies of businessmen’s associations might be classified under a
sociology of organizations heading, and in other Latin Americancountries
they might be considered studies of the class structure. Yet in Mexico,where
business lobbies were juridically required to organize together in keepingwith
ment.
One reason social movements were so pervasive in Mexico over the
1970s both as a conceptual tool for analyzing society and in everyday
practice--was that the Revolution gave life to a political system that both
legitimized and institutionalized collective organization and action. As
sociologist Rat~l Trejo Delarbre (1986) and others (Crrdova 1972, Hamilton
1982) well explain, in the aftermath of the Revolution corporatism brought

over popular organizations (C6rdova 1979, Alonso 1982, 1985, Trejo De-
larbre 1986).
Once Mexico’sownscholars turned to the manipulative character of the
Mexican state, and the ways this reduced the potential for democratic
participation, their UScounterparts found a ready subject for study as well.
The United States sent several budding scholars to mine this new terrain,

1986) and regional political autonomy(Martfnez Assad &Ziccardi 1986).
these conditions, the corporatist state is least able to conduct "business as
usual" through cooptation, owingto the multiclass character of these move-
mentsand the rhetorics of democratization that generally accompanydemands
for territorially basedpolitical structures of participation (Gil Villegas 1986,
L6pez Monjardin 1986). Accordingly, urban problems, resurgent regional
identities, and the territorially based demandsthey generate maylay at the
heart of fundamentaltransformations in the state and class-based politics in
Mexico.
