Mexico's "democratic transition" has created a competitive
electoral system and a formally plural state. Besides, a peculiar
wave of insurgency, started in 1994, has challenged the alleged
moderating effect of democratic transition. This book argues that
socioeconomic inequality is the main factor behind this combination
of democratic and undemocratic trends.
Mexico's "democratic transition" has created a competitive
electoral system and a formally plural state. But authoritarian
practices have shown their capacity to thrive in this competitive
context. Besides, a peculiar wave of insurgency, started in 1994,
has challenged the alleged moderating effect of democratic
transition. At the same time, the illegal drug business became
larger and probably increased its political influence, undermining
the rule of law and democratic accountability. This book argues
that socioeconomic inequality is the main factor behind this
combination of democratic and undemocratic trends. Inequality has
corrupting effects upon democratization; conversely, the apparently
democratic system tends to legitimate economic inequality and
thereby contributes to reproducing it. Thus, a far-reaching
redistribution of socioeconomic power is indispensable for breaking
the vicious circle created by inequality and authoritarianism.
