Mexican Political System - Corporatism Corporatist organizations under the PRI Example: Confederation of Mexican workers Recognized by PRI; independent unions repressed Agreed to limit demands Limits on wage increases, limits on grievance procedures, limit on right to strike. Leaders of official federations rewarded by PRI 1980s-90s: 14-22% of Congress Confederation of Mexican Workers Corporatism: Citizen participation is channeled into state-sanctioned groups

Interest Group Activity Business interests – Ultimately…Elites became wealthy, but not incorporated into PRI. Labor –Union boss power falls, because unions are accommodated by the system. Rural peasant organizations – on the rise but co-opted as necessary Urban Movements – social welfare spending, city services, neighborhood improvements, etc.

What would you say about voter behavior before 1990s? PRI controlled local, state and national elections Voter rates high because patron-client required political support

Situation #2 How might this affect the political Mexico is now more than 75% urban Literacy rate 90% How might this affect the political system/relationship between citizen and state? Voting?

Political Participation Over time, Mexicans have enjoyed widespread freedoms Religion, press, assembly, to vote, own property or even choose a school Yet there have been civil rights abuses by the government Violent strike breaking Student massacres Lots of assassinations

But… While they might have been free, until 2000 Mexicans could never turn this freedom into an alternate political power

What do you think the future holds for the relationship between citizen and state in Mexico?
