This book provides an overview of Mexico's political evolution
since it became independent from Spain in 1821, and its current
constitutional arrangements, principles and structures. The aim is
to explain this evolution as the result of struggles between the
interests and ideologies of different groups within Mexican
society, each with a different political vision of how the State
should be organised. Chapter 1 reviews Mexico's constitutional
trajectory, and explains why democracy, republicanism, federalism,
separation of state and church, protection of fundamental rights
and the Nation's ownership of mineral resources first became
constitutional principles. Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 deal respectively
with democracy and the electoral system, and the legislative,
executive and judicial branches of federal government. Chapter 6
introduces the institutional structure of Mexico's federal system,
while Chapter 7 discusses the rules, principles and institutions
for the protection of human rights. Chapter 8 examines the
constitutional regime of Mexico's economy. The conclusion explains
how a series of factors has combined to produce a gap between the
formal Constitution and what can be seen as the living
Constitution; bridging that gap presents Mexican politics and
society with one of its great contemporary challenges.
