"Local Governance and Ethnic Conflict in Southern Mexico." Matthew Cleary, Associate Professor, Political Science at the Syracuse University Maxwell School.   

Drawing on research and data collected over a period of several years, this talk will explore the effect and geographic divisions on the provision of municipal public services in southern Mexico. Municipal governments in Mexico are responsible for services like water provision and sewage, but in municipalities that have autonomous (indigenous) governments, or in municipalities that are ethnically divided, provision of these services is often a source of political conflict and even violence. Understanding the contours of such conflicts is essential for an accurate evaluation of Mexico’s multicultural institutional framework.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
