Adult Education and State Policy in Latin America: The Contrasting Cases of Mexico and Nicaragua.
Arnove, Robert F.; Torres, Carlos Alberto
Comparative Education, v31 n3 p311-25 Nov 1995

In the 1980s, Mexico represented a "corporatist" state undertaking an incremental approach to literacy provision for purposes of political legitimation and social integration, while Nicaragua represented a revolutionary state pursuing a structural approach to fundamental educational and social changes.
