In a moment when alternatives to neoliberal global capitalism appeared to have disappeared from the world stage, the Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN) initiated a movement and process that would have significance not only in Chiapas and for Mexico, but for many struggles and movements around the world that would come to identify with a kind of “alter-globalization” project.

  • CID Working Paper No. 075 :: Presidential Leadership And
    Presidential Leadership and Decision-Making in Policy Reforms: The First 150 Days of Vicente Fox Rocío Ramos de Villarreal CID Working Paper No. 75 September 2001 Copyright 2001 Rocio Ramos de Villarreal and the President and Fellows of Harvard College Working Papers Center for International Development at Harvard University Presidential Leadership and Decision-Making in Policy Reforms. The First 150 Days of Vicente Fox Rocío Ramos de Villarreal Abstract At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Mexico, the twelfth-largest economy in the world and the second-largest trading partner of the US, finds itself undergoing profound transformations. After more than seven decades with a hegemonic party exercising presidential power, the country is now immersed in a full-fledged democratic process, after a ‘silk transition’. Politically, there has been a fundamental transformation in the scope of presidential rule and the relationship between the president and Congress. Whereas the legislative branch was subordinate to the executive for over half a century, Mexico’s new democracy has ushered in a Congress that is more powerful and independent, and the president now needs to lobby and negotiate with it. In this context, the ability to pass reform measures requires not only expertise in technical design or instrumental consistency but, foremost, skillfultactical management in the political arena. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of Mexico’s evolution toward electoral democracy and to analyze President Fox’s leadership and the decision-making process he employed in his efforts to attain two major policy reforms in his first 150 days as president: the tax reform and the Indigenous bill.

LADB Article Id: 51628 ISSN: 1054-8890 Fox Administration Finally Intervenes in Oaxaca; Resolution May be Difficult by LADB Staff Category/Department: Mexico Published: 2006-09-13 After weeks of sitting on the sidelines, President Vicente Fox's administration finally entered the bitter and sometimes violent conflict between the teachers union and the Oaxaca state government. In late August, Interior Secretary Carlos Abascal Carranza agreed to sit down with members of Section 22 of the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educacion (SNTE) to discuss demands for a salary increase. While there was a potential breakthrough on the issue of compensation for the teachers, the SNTE's insistence on the removal of Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz Ortiz remained a major obstacle in what has become a crisis in the capital city of Oaxaca. Ruiz is a member of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), which has governed Oaxaca for several generations. Abascal's decision to enter the talks offers a glimmer of hope for a resolution to the nearly five-month impasse between SNTE members and the Oaxaca state government regarding teachers' salaries.

Los usos de las campañas 1anticorrupción en México* 2Nubia Nieto** Recibido: 24 de julio de 2017 - Aprobado: 19 de octubre de 2017 Resumen México ha firmado y ratificado las iniciativas más importantes de la lucha contra la corrupción en el mundo. En tanto miembro de la Ocde, el G-20, las Naciones Unidas, la Organización de los Estados Americanos, el Fondo Monetario Internacional y el Banco Mundial, México ha acordado luchar contra la corrup- ción. A nivel nacional, cada presidente, como parte de su programa, ha incluido iniciativas anticorrupción en sus agendas políticas. Sin embargo, los niveles de corrupción e impunidad en México continúan siendo altos, lo cual plantea las siguientes preguntas: ¿Por qué, los políticos nacionales prometen frenar la corrupción al principio de sus gobiernos? ¿Porqué los políticos nacionales que prometen reducir la corrupción al finalizar sus gobiernos se ven envueltos en casos de corrupción? ¿Están los políticos mexicanos verdaderamente compro- metidos en luchar contra la corrupción? Este artículo pretende analizar estas cuestiones, y se embarca en una exploración de las campañas de lucha contra la corrupción como uno de los pilares del sistema político mexicano desde el go- bierno de José López Portillo (1976-1982) hasta Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018).

  • The Evolution of Political Parties in Mexico, 1900–2014
    The Evolution of Political Parties in Mexico, 1900–2014 Political parties are arranged from left to right according to core ideologies. This model uses a simple one-dimensional, continuous scale, but it is important to keep in mind that in reality, political ideologies are multidimensional and more complex. Left Curved lines represent factions of one party breaking off into another party. Right 1900 Historical Events Partido Liberal Mexicano (PLM), formed 1905 Nov. 20, 1910 — Start of the Mexican Revolution 1910 1910 marks the end of the Porfiriato, the three-decade reign of the authoritarian President Porfirio Díaz. Though the revolution ends in 1921, Mexico sustains conditions of violence and political Partido Socialista Obrero (POS), formed 1911 Partido Católico Nacional (PNM), formed 1911 instability until 1929, when the creation of the Partido Nacional Revolucionario successfully unites a broad group of political factions under a single, big tent party.
