This work departs from the literature about Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) to study Mexico after
the economic and political reforms enacted there between 1982 an 2012 which were characterised
as neo liberal. These were a 180º turn from the previous twelve years when the State invested
heavily in corporations and even in oil production and export. If such previous economic
structure was similar to a state-led corporatist but capitalist economy perhaps the new one
would similarly follow a specific model. The question of the study is: after the economic
reforms in Mexico between 1982 and 2012 what is the VoC of Mexico? This is about the open
market international free trade and investment privatisation and other economic reforms that
began in Mexico in that period. This book also comments on some indicators of economic
wellbeing as these reflect the results of the reforms. Finally it makes a critical assessment
of those changes before attempting to answer the research question.
