There is an undercover movement : zur Bedeutung nicht-staatlicher und transnationaler Akteur_innen bei der Verbreitung von Fertilitätsregulierung in Mexiko (1968 - 1985)

A limited population growth with the spread of fertility regulation was no state aim in the 1960s Mexico, till the early 1970s brought radical changes. Until now population policy in Mexico from the 1960s to 1980s was seen as lead and controlled by the central government. But the dissertations can show which and that transnational influences were behind changes, how governments as the US found ways to influence and change policy without acting obviously. Central actors in this field, transnationally and in Mexico, were non-state actors in their connecting networks. The dissertation not only shows and contextualizes fertility regulation and policies concerning in this time in Mexico in a new way, close to sources from Mexico, the US and elsewhere. It shows how communication, sciences or education were instrumentalized to spread transnational and non-state ideals and arguments, marked and presented as Mexican and state ideals and arguments. This undercover movement is discovered and differentiated shown
