Since achieving independence from Spain and establishing its first
constitution in 1824, Mexico has experienced numerous political
upheavals. The country's long and turbulent journey toward
democratic, representative government has been marked by a tension
between centralized, autocratic governments (historically depicted
as a legacy of colonial institutions) and federalist structures.
The years since Mexico's independence have seen a major violent
social revolution, years of authoritarian rule, and, finally, in
the past two decades, the introduction of a fair and democratic
electoral process.
Over the course of the thirty-one essays in The Oxford Handbook of
Mexican Politics some of the world's leading scholars of Mexico
will provide a comprehensive view of the remarkable transformation
of the nation's political system to a democratic model. In turn
they will assess the most influential institutions, actors,
policies and issues in its current evolution toward democratic
consolidation. Following an introduction by Roderic Ai Camp,
sections will explore the current state of Mexico's political
development; transformative political institutions; the changing
roles of the military, big business, organized labor, and the
national political elite; new political actors including the news
media, indigenous movements, women, and drug traffickers; electoral
politics; demographics and political attitudes; and policy issues.
