This book documents Mexico's gradual transition to democracy,
written from a perspective which pits opposition activists'
post-electoral conflicts against their usage of regime-constructed
electoral courts at the centre of the democratization process. It
addresses the puzzle of why, during key moments of Mexico's 27-year
democratic transition, opposition parties failed to use autonomous
electoral courts established to mitigate the country's often
violent post-electoral disputes, despite formal guarantees of court
independence from the Party of the Institutional Revolution (PRI),
Mexico's ruling party for 71 years (preceeding the watershed 2000
presidential elections). Drawing on hundreds of author interviews
throughout Mexico over a three-year period and extensive archival
research, the author explores choices by the rightist National
Action Party (PAN) and the leftist Party of the Democratic
Revolution (PRD) between post-electoral conflict resolution via
electoral courts and via traditional routes - mobilization and
bargaining with the PRI-state.
