The core of this book is an application of spatial statistics techniques for the modeling of urban political change in Mexico. The author’s goal is to help the reader learn by example how to apply spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression techniques. Inside, the reader will learn about key concepts in spatial analysis such as regional clusters, local contextual effects, and spatial diffusion processes. The reader will also find useful information about political parties, electoral reforms, and the urban electorate in Mexico. Intended principally for urban studies students, this book is also informative to students in geography, sociology, political science, and those interested in quantitative research methods.
