I was attending a lecture on Mexico from Pre-Hispanic - Modern times, and the professor had a very interesting thesis. Not sure what to make of it now, but he said, that mexican/indigineous women have had a profound influence on the decline of mexico. When Cortes came, it was Malinche, the indian girl who brokered the deal with the tribes to attack the Aztecs and cement Mexico's fate. Then when the influx of Europeans came following the conquest, I guess the colonial period, the indian women would only sleep with Europeans, even out of wedlock, to ensure that their kids would be part of the ruling elite. And he says the same thing is still happening today. The men just react to it.

Bad government is a reaction to bad society. When the society is broken then bad governments cannot/are hard to eliminate.
