Initiated in the mid-1970s, Mexico's program of political reform
was designed to provide a new opportunity for political
competition. In this book, contributors examine the significance
political mobilization has had and the extent to which the reform
has served as a vehicle for defusing discontent in the wake of
Mexico's failed oil-based development program and the related
financial collapse. Specifically, they analyze the Institutional
Revolutionary Party's (PRI) performance within the more fluid
political context, the development of expanded organized political
opposition, the renewal of activity by the National Action Party
(PAN), and the response of the Mexican citizenry. The book provides
the only detailed empirical analysis of the outcomes of reform
initiatives currently available and makes a valuable contribution
to the theoretical literature on the process of political
"democratization" within authoritarian systems. The case of Mexico
is particularly interesting from a theoretical perspective, given
the earlier absence of a fully functioning multiparty system in the
postrevolutionary period, the development of wholly new instruments
for the representation of opposing interests, and the
transformation of the roles of established organizations.
