In Routes of Compromise Michael K. Bess studies the social, economic, and political implications of road building and state formation in Mexico through a comparative analysis of Nuevo Len and Veracruz from the 1920s to the 1950s. He examines how both foreign and domestic actors, working at local, national, and transnational levels, helped determine how Mexico would build and finance its roadways.While Veracruz offered a radical model for regional construction that empowered agrarian communities, national consensus would solidify around policies championed by Nuevo Lens political and commercial elites. Bess shows that no single political figure or central agency dominated the process of determining Mexico's roadbuilding policies. Instead, provincial roadbuilding efforts highlight the contingent nature of power and state formation in midcentury Mexico.
