How does international financial integration affect development in newly industrializing countries? Sylvia Maxfield offers a challenging interpretation of the Mexican political economy in light of this complex question. In an increasingly internationalized world, she argues, capital-controlling economic policies can have benefits that, especially for the newly industrializing Latin American countries addressed here, outweigh the efficiency costs of government intervention.
