Abstract

When the armed phase of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) came to an end, the winning group developed a political system which allowed for dissolving power institutionally, and which was characterized by a presidential system, a State party and corporatism. In 1977, a process of democratic transition was started; and it ended in 2000 with the victory of Vicente Fox, the opposing candidate. The 80-year-long period of an authoritarian, albeit not dictatorial, regime was ended. Today an intense electoral competitiveness is a reality. Now Mexican democracy is faced with an array of bigger challenges it needs to overcome in a short period of time to consolidate and streamline the system. Three of the biggest challenges are: rooting out corruption, reducing the levels of social inequality, and expanding spaces for citizen participation
