El sistema electoral mexicano: equidad en la competencia, inequidad en la representación

Abstract

Mexico has been one of the Latin American countries that has carried out more political and electoral reforms in recent decades. These reforms have impacted the articulation between the government system, the party system and the electoral system itself. This text briefly tells the story of Mexican electoral reformism, highlighting its fundamental moments and pieces. It also offers an analytical perspective that helps to understand the process of substitution of a hegemonic party system for a plural and competitive one. Finally, it criticizes the capacity of the electoral system to bring the plurality that has been forged in the country to the space of political representation.
