Neo-liberal disciplining, violence and transnational organizing: The struggle for women's rights in Ciudad Juárez

Marianne H. Marchand looks at the recent political and economic transformations in Mexican state-society relations in the context of neoliberal economic reforms and a process of democratization. She argues that these transformations involve multiple forms of violence but also engender resistance and political organizing. She takes the violence in Ciudad Juárez as an example of the struggle over democratization, accountability and human/women's rights. © 2004 Society for International Development.
