Esta interpretación tiene su origen en la historiografía nacionalista, estructuralista y dependentista que propone que el predominio británico en el mundo atlántico del siglo XIX puede ser entendido sólo en términos de "imperialismo informal" británico o "dominio honorario". En este artículo se argumenta que la explicación se encuentra en una serie de factores entrelazados y traslapados que se relacionan no sólo con el modus operandi de Pearson sino, más importante aún, con el contexto político y económico de la Inglaterra victoriana y el México porfiriano.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: There continues to be a widespread belief that the relationship between the regime of Porfirio Díaz (1876-1880, 1884-1911) and overseas businessmen such as the British contractor and politician Sir Weetman Pearson constituted a type of Faustian pact be-tween corrupt elites and rapacious foreigners in a conspiracy to plunder Mexico's economic resources. This interpretation has its roots in nationalist structuralist and dependentista historiography, which posits that British predominance in the nineteenth-century Atlantic world can only be understood in terms of British "informal imperialism", or "honorary dominion". This article argues instead that the explanation is to be found in a series of interlocking and overlapping factors which relate not only to Pearson's modus operandi but most importantly, to the political and economic context of Victorian Britain and Porfirian Mexico.]]></p></abstract>
