PRESENTATION General overlook Electoral democracy requires constant improvement and update in order to satisfy those demands presented by a modern society, citizens’ rights-demanding and strong political parties fighting over access to political power. Through this given outlook, elections´ management has gradually become an object of knowledge, as well as a specialized practice. Nowadays, those of us involved in elections´ management not only encounter a widely extended and diversified practice, but also a very complex one, related to ways of conducting it to satisfy universally recognized international standards, oriented towards free, clean, fair, equal, periodically and reliable elections. The classic standards on electoral democracy have not changed, but the parameters established to meet them have. Current developing conditions on electoral abilities demand a broader electoral quality for the authority to comply with such standards. An effort in accordance with the political exigency to train electoral officers is required. Registered changes in the electoral agenda´s evolution ask for new aptitudes, (knowledge, abilities, skills) and new attitudes (values and behaviors) of those responsible of organizing elections in the world.

  • Does the Decline of Single-Party Rule in Central And
    Does the Collapse of Single-Party Rule in Central and Eastern Europe Reveal the Path Down Which Mexico is Headed? Joseph L. Klesner Department of Political Science Kenyon College Gambier, OH 43022 USA [email protected] 1.740.427.5311 Forthcoming in International Studies Review. 1 Does the Collapse of Single-Party Rule in Central and Eastern Europe Reveal the Path Down Which Mexico is Headed? Joseph L. Klesner Kenyon College Perhaps the trite answer to the question in the title is “no—and yes.” Many party systems in the ex-communist states of the former Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries dominated by the USSR have fragmented in ways that should not repeat themselves in Mexico—but some have consolidated into two-party, government-versus- opposition arrangements. Other successors to the once-ruling communists have failed to adapt successfully to competition, but several have reformed and transmuted themselves well enough to share in the governance of their nations. Some successor parties and new party systems have failed to develop effectively a democratic political culture, but others have advanced the consolidation of democracy in the former Soviet bloc. Comparative analysis of the Mexican transition with the new regimes of Central and Eastern Europe can tell us much about the peculiarities of Mexican democratization and offer insights into the future of its former ruling party. Novelist Mario Vargas Llosa (1991) once called the Mexican regime the “perfect dictatorship.” Perfect though it may have seemed to Vargas Llosa, the 71-year control by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of Mexico’s executive branch ended unexpectedly in July 2000.

  • Youth Movements and Public Youth Policies in Mexico: a Conceptual Approach
    http://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n31.2019.02 Youth movements and public youth policies in Mexico: a conceptual approach Movimientos juveniles y políticas públicas de juventud en México: una aproximación conceptual Robert González García Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo, México [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6166-5562 Juan Antonio Taguenca Belmonte Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo, México [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9465-9951 Abstract In recent years, new forms of youth political participation have emerged in Mexico. However, youth public policies continue to address the problems of the youth without their participation and in a de- ficient manner. The main objective of the article is to draw up a conceptual framework that allows us to think about public policies of youth from and for the young Mexicans themselves. The methodology is the documentary analysis and the hermeneutic of the social processes that star young Mexicans in the areas of political participation in recent years, intersecting it with the analysis of the response of administrations in the form of youth policies. The results show the emergence of a more participatory youth that, however, shows more continuities than changes in terms of political culture and that coexists with the persistence of youth public policies typical of previous periods. The conclusion is that moving towards participatory youth public policies is an important objective for the democratization and greater efficiency of the attention and service for young people. Keywords Political culture, youth, Mexico, social movements, political participation, public policies Suggested form of citing: González García R., and Taguenca Belmonte, J.

Note: the figure shows the share of votes received by selected groups of Argentinian political parties in general elections between 1995 and 2019. Peronist parties received 48% of votes in the 2019 election. Anti-peronist parties are the Radical Civic Union (UCR), the Front for a Country in Solidarity (FREPASO), Acción por la Republica, Coalición Cívica ARI, Cambiemos, Frente de Izquierda, and Recrear.

A Pathway towards Balancing Capitalism and Balanced Development, or Demdevelopment by Ramon Angel Nunez De La Mora Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning University of California, Los Angeles 2013 Professor Leobardo Estrada, Chair Starting from the Mexican state´s and capitalism´s overall performance in democracy and development, this study addresses two types of social relationships that have shaped the country´s evolution over the twentieth century: those unleashed from the Constitution of 1917 to now, which are called the historical or postrevolutionary relationships, and those just rising at the turn to the twentieth- first century, named as the emerging or post-postrevolutionary relationships. Both relationships take place through a series of state and capitalist processes overlapping in the spheres of politics, production and policymaking.

  • Manifesto Project Dataset List of Political Parties
    Manifesto Project Dataset List of Political Parties [email protected] Website: https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/ Version 2020b from December 23, 2020 Manifesto Project Dataset - List of Political Parties Version 2020b 1 Coverage of the Dataset including Party Splits and Merges The following list documents the parties that were coded at a specific election. The list includes the name of the party or alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party has split from another party or a number of parties has merged and indicates the name (and if existing the id) of this split or merger parties. In the past there have been a few cases where an alliance manifesto was coded instead of a party manifesto but without assigning the alliance a new party id. Instead, the alliance manifesto appeared under the party id of the main party within that alliance. In such cases the list displays the information for which election an alliance manifesto was coded as well as the name and members of this alliance. 2 Albania ID Covering Abbrev Parties No. Elections
