The Aztec States-Society: Roots of Civil Society and Social Capital

Abstract

This article argues in favor of a new image of pre-Hispanic politics in Mesoamerica by positing the existence of an Aztec states-society during the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. This society was based on a series of common assumptions, interests, and institutions that fostered a close degree of cooperation between member states.
