This volume offers an overview of party politics in Mexico, with a special focus on the 1997 mid-term congressional elections. In Mexico the three main political parties have led the advances towards democratic governability. Chapters on the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional), the PAN (Partido Acción Nacional) and PRD (Partido de la Revolución Democrática) examine the responses of these three leading parties to changing electoral challenges. As competition for the vote increased, these parties have been forced to adapt and to introduce changes in their organization. These changes have had wider implications for the development of the party system. In consequence, this volume is more than the study of leading competing parties in Mexico. It also analyses the behaviour of the Mexican electorate and the changing institutional setting that underpins both the nature of political parties and the patterns of competition and co-operation.

Revolution in Development uncovers the surprising influence of postrevolutionary Mexico on the twentieth century's most important international economic institutions. Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico, the United States, and Great Britain, Christy Thornton meticulously traces how Mexican officials repeatedly rallied Third World leaders to campaign for representation in global organizations and redistribution through multilateral institutions. By decentering the United States and Europe in the history of global economic governance, Revolution in Development shows how Mexican economists, diplomats, and politicians fought for more than five decades to reform the rules and institutions of the global capitalist economy. In so doing, the book demonstrates, Mexican officials shaped not only their own domestic economic prospects but also the contours of the project of international development itself.

Part of the International Library of Policy Analysis series, this book provides the first detailed examination of the practice of policy analysis in Mexico. Whilst shaped by the legacy of the Mexican state’s colonial history as well as by recent social, economic and political developments, the study of policy analysis within Mexico provides important comparative lessons for other countries. Contributors study the nature of policy analysis at different sectors and levels of government as well as by non-governmental actors, such as unions, business, NGOs and the media, promoting the use of evidence-based policy analysis, leading to better policy results. The book is a vital resource for academics and students of policy studies, public management, political science and comparative policy studies.
