When Mexico's authoritarian Party of the Institutional Revolution
(PRI) was defeated in the 2000 presidential election after
seventy-one years of uninterrupted rule, many analysts believed the
party would inevitably splinter and collapse. An authoritarian
party without control over government resources and without a
strong national executive creates both opportunity and incentive
for ambitious politicians to leave the party and join a separate
faction. To the surprise of many, however, the PRI managed to
deviate from this pattern, and returned triumphantly to the
presidency in 2012. Democratization and Authoritarian Party
Survival: Mexico's Evolving PRI argues that those authoritarian
parties that survive the transition to democratic elections do so
because they are able to adjust to electoral challenges and the
rigors of the ballot box more quickly and effectively than their
internal party rivals. Such as in the case of the PRI, these
electorally-oriented vote winners find ways to cooperate and avoid
the dangers of internal ruptures. Those authoritarian parties in
which vote-winning factions are unable to defeat their intra-party
rivals, or those that divide and fragment, are less likely to
survive the transition to democratic voting. Despite the interest
in Mexico's former hegemonic party and its return to power, no
full-length monograph has been dedicated to studying its
transformation. This book takes a long lens view of authoritarian
party survival and zeros in on the transformation of Mexico's PRI,
making a substantive and novel contribution to the wider literature
on party organizational change, authoritarian party survival, and
democratization.
