Mexican State's Economic and Political Transition: From the Entrepreneurial State to the State of Entrepreneurs

摘要

Mexico is a country highly centralized with a powerful government, no reelection and until recently, strong and open political competition. Since the independence of Mexico and for the last two Centuries, the dominant political system has been authoritarian and presidential oriented. Starting with the emerging governments from the Mexican Revolution (1910-17), it settles a dominant party's dictatorship that monopolizes political representation and a deforming presidencialism, that Krauze has denominated the Imperial Presidency, which weaknesses faculties and duties of legislative power and subdue the judicial power. The forms of patriarchal power represented another feature of Mexican government before and after the Mexican Revolution.
