Eager to ascribe significance to the manifold failings of the Díaz regime in order to explain the coming of the Mexican Revolution, few historians have undertaken to understand Porfirian foreign policy on its own terms. The fact that Díaz's balancing act ultimately failed should not detract from the conclusion that it registered modest successes for many years.Este artículo traza la política exterior de Porfirio Díaz, dictador de México durante un largo período (1876–1880 y 1884–1911). Su regimen coincidió con la elaboración de una política multilateral con las siguientes metas: limitar el crecimiento de la influencia estadounidense en el Caribe y su alrededor; equilibrar las inversiones de EEUU con las provenientes de Europa; y hacer valer sus propios intereses. En su afán de explicar el advenimiento de la Revolución Mexicana por medio de los varios defectos del régimen del General Díaz, pocos historiadores han hecho un esfuerzo para vislumbrar la política exterior porfirista en sus propios términos. El hecho que el acto de equilibrio falló al final no debe detraer de la conclusión que esa política exterior brindó éxitos modestos durante muchos años.

During this seminal period, revolutionaries destroyed the old regime, created a new national government, built an official political party, and then discarded in practice the essence of their revolution. In this tumultuous time, governors-some of whom later became president-served as the most significant intermediaries between the national government and the people it ruled.

As you see it is a larger issue being 100 pages. This is to maintain the editorial policy of keeping the time between acceptance of a manuscript and its publication as short as possible. In addition this issue contains an important article from Vitale and co-authors which is a Delphi Method consensus manuscript on ''Best Practices in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring in Spine Deformity Surgery.'' It includes a checklist for the response to intraoperative changes in neuromonitoring. This table is deemed to be very important, and as such the table is reproduced as an insert in the issue, just inside the back cover. In addition the checklist will be available as Supplemental data within the online version of the article.

Graciously hosted by the Instituto Mora and expertly arranged by Carmen Collado, the meeting convened 7-10 April, 2010 with the theme of "Memory and Revolution." One highlight of the conference was the Saturday banquet held in the atrium of the Instituto and featuring esteemed historian Lorenzo Meyer's thought-provoking keynote speech entitled "México y Estados Unidos: las etapas de una relaci ón tormentosa." Of the 121 papers presented at the widely attended meeting, the editors submitted the best manuscripts for peer review and ultimately selected eight of them for publication in this issue. These articles represent a diversity of ideas, methodologies, and disciplines in Latin American Studies and contribute significantly to various academic discussions. Customarily, the publication includes the winning paper of the Moseley Prize competition for the best graduate student paper presented at the annual meeting, but this year's winner, Renata Keller of the University of Texas-Austin, decided to place her paper with another journal. As editors, we are grateful for the aid, insight, and guidance offered by a host of others. We are indebted to the anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful and constructive evaluations, to our authors for their creativity and diligence, to our colleagues at Wiley for their leadership and cooperation, and to our graduate assistant, Shavon Bell, for her contributions and commitment to see this volume to publication. The Annals Issue has been housed at both UNC Charlotte and Winthrop University, and we greatly appreciate the significant financial and institutional support offered by these great universities. We note especially the institutional support generously offered by Nancy Gutierrez, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UNC Charlotte, and Debra Boyd, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Winthrop. And, as always, we acknowledge with gratitude the efforts of our dedicated readers and contributors to keep the journal moving forward with improvements in quality, profile, and accessibility of the Annals.

Schoonover's archival research in Central America, Europe and the USA encompasses public, business, organizational and individual records. The text describes the role of personalities such as John C. Fremont, Otto von Bismarck, Theodore Roosevelt, Manuel Estrada Cabrera and Jose Santos Zelaya; the impact of railroad building and canal projects; and the role of pan-Americanism, nationalism, racism and anti-Americanism.

Its causes included, among others, the authoritarian rule of dictator Porfirio Díaz, the seizure of millions of acres of indigenous village lands by wealthy hacendados and foreign investors, and the growing divide between the rich and the poor. As a result of these varied causes and Mexico’s strong social and regional divisions, the revolution against Díaz lacked ideological focus. The revolutionaries ousted Díaz within six months but could not agree on the new social and political order and—after a failed attempt at democracy—ended up fighting among themselves in a bitter civil war. In 1917, the victorious Constitutionalist faction crafted a landmark constitution, the first in the world to enshrine social rights and limit the rights of private, and particularly foreign capital. Although never fully implemented and partially repealed in the 1990s, the document remains the most significant achievement of the revolution. After 1920, a succession of revolutionary generals gradually centralized political power until the election of a civilian presidential candidate in 1946. This effort at state building confronted significant resistance from popular groups, regional warlords, and disaffected leaders who had lost out in the political realignment. In the end, the symbolic significance of the revolution exceeded its political and social outcomes. While fundamentally agrarian in nature, the revolution thus ultimately produced a new national elite that gradually restored a strong central state. One can easily divide the revolution into a military (1910–1917) and a reconstructive phase (1917–1946). However, the latter phase witnessed an important generational shift that transferred political power from the leaders of the military phase to their subordinates as well as civilian representatives, with the formation of a revolutionary ruling party in 1929 serving as the most important watershed moment in this process. Therefore, this essay distinguishes among three separate phases: insurrection and civil war (1910–1917); reconstruction (1917–1929); and institutionalization (1929–1946).
