2006 Mexican Elections Analysis
I am an assistant professor in the Department
of Political Science at Stanford
University. I am affiliated to the Center
for Democracy, Development and Rule of Law (CDDRL), the Stanford
Center for International Development (SCID) and member of the board
of the Center for Latin American
Studies.
My research interests fall into the topics of poverty, development, federalism, clientelism and patronage, and Mexico.
Before joining Stanford I taught at UCLA and ITAM in Mexico City. I have also been a researcher at CIDAC, a think tank in Mexico City.
