Description
Book SynopsisThrough an unprecedented analysis of two crucial energy sectors, this book illuminates the economic and political factors that caused the United States and Mexico to develop an asymmetrical codependency that disproportionally benefits the United States.
Trade Review"This very interesting book advances our understanding of the way developing nations and wealthy nations depend on each other. Menchaca carefully surveys dependency studies that explain how wealthy nations exercise power over developing nations." * Choice *
