The Carranza Debacle Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Carranza Debacle The initial steps in the movement which resulted in the flight and death of President Carranza of Mexico began to be chronicled in the daily press dispatches as early as the end of last March. Weeks before that time some of the details of the proposed revolution were passed about by word of mouth in the United States, the contest in Sonora being freely predicted along the lines which it actually followed. It is thus evident that the waning power of the government had been accurately gauged during the winter, while Obregon was making his political tour of the Republic. During the year 1919 the power of the Carranza regime was apparently at its highest, though that power was never complete nor supported by a large or significant part of the population. It will be remembered that Venustiano Carranza was recognized as de facto head of the Republic of Mexico in October, 1915, after he had refused to abide by promises he had made not to assume the presidency, and had quarreled with Francisco Villa and others of his companions in arms against Huerta. Recognition was bestowed, not in full confidence, but in the belief that Carranza led the party which had made the most effective campaign against the disorders prevailing and which was most likely to effect the pacification of the country.

Excerpt from Is Mexico Worth Saving Dating from the Conquest, Mexico has been the recognized kaleidoscope among the nations. So rapidly are events habitually juggled through out her territories that no man, whether native or foreign observer, has ever prophesied with success as to the course she would take in any crisis unless he prophesied disaster on the theory that what has been, will be.

Excerpt from Mexico and the Caribbean The chapters in this volume were first given as addresses during the Conference upon Mexico and the Caribbean, at Clark University, May 20, 21 and 22, 1920. This was the seventh Conference upon International Relations held at the University. First organized in 1909, they met annually until the outbreak of the world war, after which they were discontinued until the present year. The aim of the University in organizing these sessions has been to do its part in bringing about a more intelligent under standing of our international problems, a more sympathetic appreciation of the attitude of other peoples, and a keener realization of our own international duties. In presenting the various and different sides of international questions, and in emphasizing the points of View held by others, which are often different from the popular Views held among our selves, the University believes that it is fulfilling an obliga tion which it owes not only to its own students but to the wider community of which it is a part. If democracy is to control foreign relations, it has been well said that democracy should know something about the subject. And what more helpful service, along this line, can a University render than to bring together a large group of experts upon some foreign country, or closely connected group of countries, men who represent not only our own but other lands, owners and organizers of big business enter prises, missionaries, educators, investigators, authors, past and present government officials - and give them a forum from which to present the facts, as they see them, and a recommendation of a national policy based upon these facts? Since the world war has ceased to dominate our thought and focus our entire attention upon Europe, it is now pos sible to study the international relations of our own hemi sphere, the most important of which are those connected with the two closely related fields which were chosen for this Conference, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Excerpt from Trading With Mexico This book is not a radical document. It does not seek to explain the problems of to-day in terms of to-morrow. The author finds in the radical movements of the present the leaven of the fu ture - little else. He sees in the upheavals of our day a searching for some essential truth which will be a clarifying factor in this time of chaos and distrust. He does not see in them the final solution of any of the difficulties which hatched them out into a too ready world. Nor is this book reactionary. The author be lieves that the day of Diaz is long past in Mexico, that the day of the dreamer of utopian visions Madero - is past in Mexico. He seeks in the pres ent and in the future the sane, firm grasp of actual ities which to the watcher on the tower is the only hope of true progress. He sees in the orgies of Carranza and his immediate successors not the upsurgence of mighty ideals, but of personal am bitions and crass disregard of the bases of all human progress He seeks, in the whirling chaos of the present, a firm footing. He seeks to give the direction of such understanding as he may have to those who think with him. He believes that if he gives such a direction to them, it will enable them to go forward to the winning of some of the vast profits which await them in the Mexi can market.

For eight seasons the hit HBO series Game of Thrones painted a picture of a fantasy world filled with images such as white walkers (the undead), a three-eyed raven, and dragons. All these elements set the series visually apart, far distant from our realities. And yet, after each episode and season, viewers were left pondering about the wars, political games, diplomacy, and human rights violations that somehow resonated with the world today. Laura D. Young and Ñusta Carranza Ko’s groundbreaking book provides the answers to these questions that international relations scholars, historians, and fans have been wanting to know. How does Game of Thrones mirror international politics and how may the series provide a useful tool for better understanding the theories, concepts, and thematic issues in international relations? Game of Thrones and the Theories of International Relations connects the prominent international relations theories—realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical identity theories—to the series, providing examples from various characters whose actions reflect applied scenarios of decision-making and strategizing.
