A party system is a relationship between political parties defined by electoral competition. In Mexico, one party won the elections and ruled the country for seventy years (1929-2000). This party’s name changed, but it represented the same political group, which emerged after the Mexican Revolution of 1910, to finally be known as the Party of the Institutionalized Revolution (PRI), which holds until the present day. Although it was not the only political party, the opposition did not have the chance to win elections because the rules and practices of the political system favoured the party of the revolution. However, during the late 1970s and 1980s, those other parties began to win elections. This thesis explains why and how that happened and assumes this change resulted from social and economic transformations and the opposition’s development as a political force. In terms of the economic change, during that same period, Mexico’s economy started its integration into the global markets, which divided the national politicians between those who favoured that integration and those who championed a closed economy. This division enabled the opposition’s development because it allowed them to create a political alternative to the PRI and mobilize the citizens to vote for them. The opposition’s strengthening was also a consequence of a series of reforms that aimed to adapt the political system to the social changes that affected Mexico between the 1940s and the 1960s, like the country’s population growth. Those reforms opened up the political system for the opposition, which gave them more opportunities to challenge the PRI and attract more supporters, as it happened with the right-wing National Action Party (PAN). Those reforms also enabled the formation of a left-wing alternative through the coalition of various left-wing parties, which eventually resulted in the creation of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) in 1988. The PAN’s strengthening and the PRD’s emergence meant the end of the PRI’s undisputable electoral triumphs and led to a new relationship between the political parties characterized by more even electoral competition. The Mexican case illustrates the relevance of the political parties in providing a political expression to the differences that divide society because they translate those divisions into actions that affect society’s organization and its relationship with the state through laws, decrees, and other public actions. In a few words, this thesis analyses how significant economic and social changes can cause big political transformations. Abstract of Thesis Name of student: Ana Victoria Gaxiola Lazcano UUN S1673765 University email: [email protected] Degree sought: Ph.D. Sociology No. of words in the 60784 main text of thesis: Title of thesis: The Changing Party System in Mexico Insert the abstract text here - the space will expand as you type. This research analyses how profound economic and social transformations enable political change. It argues that those transformations lead to the renegotiation of the relationship between the state and civil society. Also, it claims that the political parties are key actors in that process because they politicize those transformations through the articulation of social cleavages, which define the political space. In concrete, this research explains how the Mexican party system changed from a hegemonic to a multiparty system between 1970 to 1988. Those changes are explained by the rupture of the political cohesion that mediated the relations of the state and civil society and the development of the opposition parties as entities capable of contesting the hegemonic party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). The fracturing of political cohesion resulted from the lack of consensus around the ’economy’s management and the opposition against the Mexican ’state’s authoritarian practices. The disagreement around the economy led to the articulation of a new social cleavage that divided the political space between neoliberals and nationalists, which enabled the flourishing of political pluralism and, consequently, the reconfiguration of the relationship between the state and civil society. The neoliberal stance was embraced by the National Action Party (PAN) and a faction of the PRI, whereas the nationalist position was championed by various left-wing parties and the Democratic current, a group within the PRI. The emergence of that cleavage gave the opposition the possibility to develop an alternative political project to the PRI, which allowed them to attract and mobilize supporters. However, as mentioned before, that was not the only element that permitted the transformation of the hegemonic party system into a multiparty system. Another essential component was the institutional changes fostered by the demographic growth, which enabled the opposition’s development as a political force. The data for this investigation were collected in diverse documentary sources, including official publications such as the Debates Chronicle of the Chamber of Deputies, and publications such as La Nacion, Punto Critico, Proceso, and El Nacional.

LADB Article Id: 074089 ISSN: 1060-4189 Mexico: Notes On Political Opposition by John Neagle Category/Department: General Published: Tuesday, October 25, 1988 Four political parties and dozens of leftist and populist political organizations joined together in the National Democratic Front that was formed to support Cuauhtemoc Cardenas in the July 6 election. Their ideological differences were smoothed over, result of the stature and prestige of Cardenas. The political leader is the son of a revered former president, and led a dissident faction of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), before breaking with the ruling party last year. At present, coalition is seeking to consolidate its election gains, including 137 seats in the 500-member Chamber of Deputies and four in the 64-member Senate, and establish a permanent presence and structure. An example of the ideological diversity of the Cardenas alliance is seen in the differences between the Socialist Party and the Authentic Party of the Mexican Revolution. Until it endorsed Cardenas, the Authentic Party was widely perceived as a "satellite" of the PRI with no program other than nationalism.

  • Mexico's Presidential Candidates Hernán Ancona C.*
    Voices of Mexico /April • June, 1994 19 Mexico's presidential candidates Hernán Ancona C.* he political scene is set, the lights are on and the entire cast of nine actors have begun to deliver their fines with a vengeance; their supporters and the circumstances demand no less. TThe Mexican electorate can look forward to a wide range of political options including Luis Donaldo Colosio (PRI), Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas (PRD), Diego Fernández de Cevallos (PAN), Pablo Emilio Madero (UNO), Cecilia Soto (PT), Jorge González Torres (PVEM), Marcela Lombardo Otero (PPS), Rafael Aguilar Talamantes (PFCRN) and Alvaro Pérez Treviño (PARM). The candidates' initially lackluster performance was followed by a radical change, largely as a result of the uprising launched by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN). Although experts say the EZLN will not guarantee the transition to democracy with acts of violence, it has made the country's leaders aware that democracy has become a necessary pre-requisite for social peace. The terms of the new Federal Code of Electoral Institutions and Procedures have forced minority and so-called satellite ' parties to offer presidential candidates. The forthcoming August 21 elections will be the most hotly contested in the country's modem history. Yet while the number of candidates is the largest in recent years, only ina. t three candidates are thought to be really in the running: la Luis Donaldo Colosio, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas and Diego en Fernández de Cevallos. / Imag The long list of candidates includes two women, who, Cruz io although little-known in the national political scene and ton virtually outside of the hard-fought contest, also form part An of this smorgasbord of options: Marcela Lombardo Otero Marco and Cecilia Soto González.

The IFE statistics showed that Diego Fernandez de Cevallos of the National Action Party (PAN) received 26.69% of the total vote, while another 17.08% was cast for Cuauhtemoc Cardenas of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD). Zedillo's margin of victory is similar to the 50.78% of the vote President Carlos Salinas de Gortari is said to have received after the 1988 election. The PRI is widely believed to have committed massive fraud that year to give Salinas a large margin of victory. Nevertheless, the percentages received by both Salinas and Zedillo still represent a large decline from previous elections, when PRI candidates received at least 80% of the vote.

  • The Mexican Communist Pary
    THE MEXICAN COMMUNIST PARTY The following interview with Enrique Semo took place at the end of June after he had spoken at a reception in Wollongong. It took upborne of the points he raised at the meeting and others which had come up when Semo, a leading figure in the Communist Party of Mexico, was a guest at the Communist Party of Australia’s National Congress in mid- June. The Mexican Communist Party is currently emerging from a period of illegality imposed after the mass struggles of 1968. Australians will recall the shootings and jailings by the Mexican authorities prior to the Olympic Games. Half the Central Committee of the Communist Party was jailed during the illegal period and the party had only 2,000 members (out of a population of 70 million). Since legality, membership has leapt to around 15,000. The political problems involved in absorbing new cadres are compounded by the class composition of the party. The Communist Party established, or influenced the establishment of, all the major trade unions in Mexico. Their positions of influence were eroded by reformist/populist forces and the long period of decline, discussed in the interview, witnessed a severe erosion of the party’s working class base. The new influx of members is predominantly from the middle class and the party still faces the task of rebuilding its industrial base. Mexico faces a future of immense potential development based on oil reserves which make it the “Saudi Arabia of the Americas". In addition, there are huge proven reserves of uranium. The movement against nuclear power has not yet impacted Mexican political life.

  • Making Revolution in Rural Cold War Mexico
    “A Revolution of the Poor, for the Poor and by the Poor” Making Revolution in Rural Cold War Mexico Alexander Aviña L’auteur Alexander Aviña is an Associate Professor of History in the School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies at Arizona State University. His book, Specters of Revolution: Peasant Guerrillas in the Cold War Mexican Countryside (Oxford University Press, 2014) was awarded the María Elena Martínez Book Prize in Mexican History for 2015 by the Conference on Latin American History. He has also published articles in the Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research, NACLA Report on the Americas, and the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History. His current research project explores the links between the political economy of narcotics, drug wars and state violence in 1960s and 70s Mexico. Abstract Recent publications on popular movements and armed struggle in post-1940 Mexico undermine state claims of exceptionalism within a Cold War Latin American context characterized by military dictatorships and undemocratic rule. In the impoverished, largely rural southwestern Mexican state of Guerrero, state violence and terror in response to reformist demands and movements based on the 1917 Constitution generated two separate rural guerrilla movements led by schoolteachers. Led by Lucio Cabañas, the Party of the Poor waged revolution for seven years beginning in the late 1960s. It would take a violent and brutal “Dirty War” to defeat the peasant guerrillas. This article explains how and why the revolutionary organization emerged and explores its radical visions for a Mexico “governed by the poor.” Key Words: Guerrilla; Guerrero; Campesino; Socialism; Lucio Cabañas; Party of the Poor.
