This overview focuses on translation from a dual perspective: the history of ideas and the history of texts and their agents, including missionaries, printers, booksellers, editors, writers, poets, and diplomats. These translations and their producers intervened in political and cultural movements that were decisive for Mexican cultural identity. In the 16th-18th centuries, translation played a fundamental role in the religious and administrative colonial order. It later went hand in hand with the independence movement and was widely used by the Republican elites in 19th-century Mexico. In the first half of the 20th century, translation was key for political and cultural reconstruction following the Mexican Revolution. Finally, toward the middle of the 20th century, for some intellectuals, translation was a tool in projects aimed at revitalizing indigenous languages and consolidating higher education. Throughout Mexican history, translations have helped represent and mediate between alterities, construct social discourses, disseminate or censor ideologies, and strengthen a national literature. Translators, as social actors inevitably committed to these functions, have increasingly gained visibility through institutional recognition, which has contributed to raising awareness about the importance of translation and fostering academic research on the topic.

Over the last 20 years, Mexico redefined the role of the state in its economy through an ambitious program to liberalize trade, promote efficiency and reduce the size and scope of the state-owned sector. In Mexico, privatization led to a significant improvement in firm performance, as profitability increased 24 percentage points and converged to levels similar to those of private firms. From this increase, at most 5 percent can be attributed to higher prices and 31 percent to transfers from workers, with the remaining 64 percent representing productivity gains. There is evidence that privatization provides other social benefits, as greater access to services, which usually follows privatization, leads to welfare gains for the poorest consumers that outweigh any increase in prices. Moreover, an often-overlooked aspect of privatization is its fiscal impact, whereby the proceeds from the sale are augmented by reduced subsidies and increased taxes and can help pay off debt or finance social spending. The Mexican privatization program can provide a valuable guide to privatization dos and don'ts: First, the privatization process must be carefully designed and run in a transparent way. Special requirements such as bans on foreign direct investment or cash-only payments lead to substantial price discounts for firms sold, while simplicity breeds competition and leads to higher prices. A transparent program can also help quell the tendency of politicians to favor their friends by tweaking the rules of the game. Second, restructuring firms prior to privatization is counterproductive in raising net sale prices and should be avoided. Governments spend substantial resources on politically motivated investment or efficiency programs that are not valued by bidders and which can rarely be justified on the social ground on which they are sold. Additionally, restructuring programs lengthen the privatization process considerably and lower prices for firms sold— in the case of Mexico, each month of delay reduced the sale price by 2. 2 percent. Finally, this paper argues that it is essential to carefully deregulate and re-regulate privatized firms to ensure that they behave appropriately as well as to provide a corporate governance framework to ensure firms are able to finance their operations without relying on the Government for help.

How has congressional campaigning changed during the transicion to democracy in Mexico? To answer this question, I examined how both the hegemonic PRI and the weak opposition parties carried out electoral campaigns during the pre-competitive and competitive periods. To do this, I interviewed almost 50 deputy candidates from Mexico's three major parties, and found that during the hegemonic period, PRI candidates were responsible for running their campaigns in many districts because the sectors were far weaker than most analysts once thought. Competition has modernized campaigns, but not exactly in the same way as ocurred in the U.S. ; ¿Cómo se han transformado las campañas electorales durante la transición a la democracia en México? Para contestar esta pregunta, examiné la forma en la cual el PRI y los partidos de oposición manejaban sus campañas durante los periodos pre-competitivos y competitivos. Entrevisté casi 50 candidatos a diputados de los tres grandes partidos en México, y encontré que durante el periodo hegemónico, los candidatos del PRI en muchos distritos llevaron sus propias campañas sin la ayuda de los tres sectores del partido. La competencia electoral ha tenido el efecto de modernizar a las campañas en México, pero no en la misma forma que en los E.U.A.
