Zusammenfassung:	Revolution in Development uncovers the surprising influence of postrevolutionary Mexico on the twentieth century's most important international economic institutions. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico, the United States, and Great Britain, Christy Thornton meticulously traces how Mexican officials repeatedly rallied Third World leaders to campaign for representation in global organizations and redistribution through multilateral institutions. By decentering the United States and Europe in the history of global economic governance, Revolution in Development shows how Mexican economists, diplomats, and politicians fought for more than five decades to reform the rules and institutions of the global capitalist economy. In so doing, the book demonstrates, Mexican officials shaped not only their own domestic economic prospects but also the contours of the project of international development itself Cover -- Revolution in Development -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- CONTENTS -- Introduction: How Could Mexico Matter? -- 1 Recognition and Representation: The Mexican Revolution and Multilateral Governance -- 2 A New Legal and Philosophic Conception of Credit: Redefining Debt in the 1930s -- 3 A Solidarity of Interests: Mexico and the Inter-American Bank -- 4 Voice and Vote: Mexico's Postwar Vision at Bretton Woods -- 5 Within Limits of Justice: The Economic Charter for the Americas and Its Critics -- 6 Organizing the Terms of Trade: Mexico and the International Trade Organization -- 7 The Price of Success: Navigating the New Development Order during the Mexican Miracle -- 8 A Mexican International Economic Order?
