"Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies."
Tracing the key themes and dynamics of a century of political development in Mexico, David Shirk explores the evolution of the party that ultimately became the vehicle for Fox's success.
A comprehensive examination of the origins, development and rising electoral prominence of Mexico's Partido Accion Nacional (PAN). The authors discussion of how and why political parties adjust to changes in the political landscape is particularly relevant to scholars of Latin America.
Ard examines Mexico's long transition to democracy and the vital role played by the National Action Party, an opposition system party inspired by Catholic social doctrine and dedicated to democratic values. Ard examines the problem of democratic transitions by focusing on Mexico's National Action Party (PAN), a democratic opposition party based on Catholic social doctrine. The 2000 defeat of Mexico's long-time ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party was more than the displacement of one ruling clique by another. More profoundly, Fox's stunning victory closed the book on a persistent political-religious conflict—a great party conflict—that had dogged Mexico since its break with the Spani...
The Metamorphosis of Leadership in a Democratic Mexico is a broad analysis of Mexico's changing leadership over the past eight decades, stretching from its pre-democratic era (1935-1988), to its democratic transition (1988-2000) to its democratic period (2000-the present). In it, Roderic Camp, one of the most distinguished scholars of Mexican politics, seeks to answer two questions: 1) how has Mexican political leadership evolved since the 1930s and in what ways, beyond ideology, has the shift from a semi-authoritarian, one-party system to a democratic, electoral system altered the country's leadership? and 2) which aspects of Mexican leadership have been most affected by this shift in polit...

Recuento biográfico de Ignacio Limón Maurer, miembro del Partido Acción Nacional desde sus inicios en 1939, hasta su muerte en 1989. Limón Maurer ocupó diversos cargos al interior de ese instituto político, incluido el de Presidente Nacional en 1968 y 1969 en uno de los momentos más difíciles del México contemporáneo. Esta obra entrelaza su trayectoria política con la historia del Partido Acción Nacional y la enmarca en diversas situaciones históricas del país, como las controvertidas elecciones en Chihuahua y Baja California en los años cincuenta y sesenta, y el movimiento estudiantil de 1968, la decisión del pan de no participar en las elecciones presidenciales de 1976, y diversas crisis al interior de dicho partido político. El libro documenta las posturas y pronunciamientos de Acción Nacional en esos y otros eventos. Alonso Lujambio manifiesta: “Limón era un militante con mucho trabajo de base, era un trabajador incansable, una especie de soldado de partido. Se le recuerda ahí, entre la base militante en las campañas, en los distritos, incluso después de ser presidente del Comité Ejecutivo Nacional.”
