“…Illiberalism-gone-mainstream went from Ann Coulter fantasizing about North Korea dropping a nuclear missile in Tijuana; to a lone-wolf sheriff in Ohio dreaming about dropping "the mother of all bombs" on Mexican cartels (Bernal, 2017); to many GOP legislators calling for an invasion with Senator Lindsey Graham toying with the idea of declaring Mexico an enemy of the United States, and Tucker Carlson arguing how Mexico is a "menace" greater than that of Putin's Russia; to DeSantis proposing a naval blockade and Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana seeking to arm-twist Mexico into accepting an invasion by using US economic leverage and weaponizing Mexico's economic dependencies. "Without the people of America, Mexico…would be eating cat food out of a can and living in a tent behind an Outback," the Senator added (Rawnsley et al, 2023) Attacking Mexico and Mexican communities in the United States has become an important component of today's mainstream illiberalism.

Taking a long-term historical perspective, this article delves into the history of sifting political orders and far-right rebellions in the United States, examining their profound impact on US-Mexico relations. Far-right rebellions are complex political phenomena, deeply rooted in three distinct American political traditions and movements: populism, illiberalism, and isolationism. All three have periodically reshaped the landscape of American politics, notably during transitions such as the current crisis facing the Washington Consensus and the liberal international order. In the past, US-Mexico relations appeared insulated from those far-right rebellions that periodically emerge from political transitions. However, this is no longer the case. The rise of Trumpism today has established the foundational framework for a new era of strained US-Mexico relations amid escalating geopolitical instability on a global scale.

<p>This thesis explores the merits of applying a marketing model, the product life-cycle model, to a political party. The product life-cycle model details a product during its introduction, growth, maturity and decline cycles. For this thesis I apply this model to the British Labour Party between 1994 and 2010 under the leadership of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. The product life-cycle model, adapted to political science from the political marketing literature, shows that a political party does go through an introduction, growth, maturity and decline phase. To avoid moving into the decline phase, a political party must learn how to rejuvenate during the maturity cycle. This thesis concludes that the product life-cycle model does have merits when applied to political parties. In the case of the British Labour Party, it began with a strong market-orientation, but the longer it stayed in power this market-orientation shifted. The New Labour brand and its primary brand agent, Tony Blair, were both strong assets to the party. However, during the lifetime of the product these assets became liabilities. The longer that New Labour stayed in power, the more it shifted away from its relationship with the political market. The product life-cycle model should be tested in other political systems to further strengthen its explanatory power.</p>

“…382 The dossier presented Saddam as a threat even though there was no evidence that Iraq was an immediate threat at all. 383 Originally Alistair Campbell was not impressed with the earlier first draft of the dossier, he did not think it made a clear case that Saddam could attack at any minute, while Blair thought that the dossier did not focus enough on human rights. 384 A second dossier was released in February 2013, this was later known as the dodgy dossier, which was based from a 12 year old PhD thesis which was found on the internet and then reworded with stronger language.…”
