Partido Revolucionario Institutional (PRI) And Mexico

After the people of Mexico freed themselves from Spanish control, they faced difficulties trying to officially establish themselves as a country. Despite their independence, Mexico had to also live with the aftermath of Spanish colonialism. Part of the aftermath included socio-political issues amongst the Mexican people. In an effort to establish themselves as a nation, they first had to free themselves from a Spanish ideology, for Mexico truly was not free after their independence. The socio-political predicaments contribute to the evolution of modern day Mexico.

By means of land redistribution and Import Substitution Industrialization, PRI reinforced economic and social defections and even further promoted the remarkable economic development. In political aspect, it also largely contributed to settle down the ethnic and regional conflicts and created an atmosphere that was conducive to co-operate. As Andreas Schedler mentions in his journal, PRI brought “the end to armed strife between regional warlords and rival revolutionary factions by its foundation (pg 5, Schedler, 2000)” . Besides in accordance to the 2000 released article from the Economist, PRI used to fund the opposition political parties in order to maintain their existence in politics (The Economist, 2000). In brief, the PRI govern on the basis on collaboration, not on coercion.

Mexico consists of three main political parties that build the framework for the Federal Government of Mexico. These three parties are the Institutional Revoluntionary Party (PRI), The National Action Party (PAN), and the most recent addition, the Democratic Revolutionary (PRD). There are many similarites between Mexico's political parties and the United States, the PAN leans to the right of the political spectrum making it Republican, and PRD swings to the left making for a Democratic party. The most popular of the three, PRI sits right in the middle of the spectrum and has more of a independent politcal ideology.

This year’s election cycle brought heated debates and discussions about many things; “the wall”, free trade, NAFTA, immigration issues, borders security and policy issues. Regardless of which side of the political isle you stand, which way the political winds sway in Washington D.C., one thing is certain not to change with the election cycle, and that is, the actual physical border between The United States and Mexico. Therefore, if we can’t change that, and we can’t, then there needs to be solutions to problems that continue to exist between the two sovereign countries. Trade and Security are two of the most important factors for neighboring countries and they must not be ignored. Beyond just good political, diplomatic, and strategic vision it is important to understand there are cultural, education and diversity complexities which takes tremendous and often times delicate maneuvering to come together for the greater good of both economies and governments, as millions of people rely on successful trade agreements and security.

The governors made sure to issue a \emph{Convocatoria} that favored the attendance of delegates loyal to them \citep[][506]{langston2001rules}. These delegates voted in favor of keeping most of the changes contained in the drafts distributed to the local assemblies in July (e.g. dropping the concept of ``social liberalism'' from the Declaration of Principles). However, they proposed additional changes which were unexpected by president Zedillo and his collaborators within the party. First, the CPN --in control of the governors after the XIV National Assembly-- became the most important party organ (replacing the National Assemblies), in charge of selecting the party's main leaders (i.e. the president of the CEN and the general secretary) and the use of the party's monies.

The first pattern set noticeably in history would the creation and long standing institution of a one-party rule over Mexican government. The first election of a Mexican President after the removal of Porfirio Diaz was in 1920 with Alvaro Obregon. (CMH, 425) Obregon would face harsh economic trouble during a post-World War I economy. The most important aspect of his presidency would be to finally implement the constitution that had been written in 1917. Obregon faces a Mexico

Mexico and the United States were two states who had different sentiments. Mexico was Catholic which were against slavery. This is to maintain Texans under their control. Texans won their independency in 1836. Texas applied for appropriation twice over the class of nine old ages they received a no both times.

Apart from the leadership, the organization has non-profit and profit activities. Since it is the part of 1000 affiliated membership groups fighting for the rights and policies will not result to pay rather the work they do gives them an opportunity to get support from the external partiers and supporters. The party, for example, supports the American for Prosperity movement. The movement championed the rights of the citizen's health care policy in 2009. It is a nonprofit event which supports what the party advocates (Formisano,

All parties were granted fairer access to public funding and to the broadcast media. These changes served to weaken the PRI party and transform the country from a one-party system. The international attention of the 1994 elections affected the fairness of the election. The 1994 election resulted in a win for the PRI’s candidate, Ernesto Zedillo, but the margin between the PRI and Pan grew closer, and the resurgent PAN became the major opposition

Despite the damage done by the earthquake, the people's biggest enemy was that of the government. The government of Mexico at the time was run by the (PRI) or Institutional Revolutionary Party, unfortunately for its citizens however this party was not interested in picking up the pieces of the community or helping rebuild. Instead they were focused on advancing their own means, this became clear when the military was authorized to help “Friends” of the party and ignore those who might be seen as dissidents. When one hears the term party friends images of the Soviet Union or China come to mind, however while not as dramatic as the Soviets that is indeed what was happening in Mexico at the time. With the Institutional Revolutionary Party’s reputation still stained from the events of the Tlatelolco massacre, the government's failure to assist its people with even the most basic forms of aid did not bode well for the parties

Mexico, a country full of culture and beauty. However, many have been questioning what kind of government does Mexico really have. There has been debate over the years if Mexico can be considered as a Liberal Democracy. One can believe that Mexico can be considered liberal democracy because their people are not forbidden or restrained from doing many things. Their government treats them like the government treats people from the United States, they are free to do what they want as long they follow the law their government has for them.

Democracy is an essential factor in governance. If we govern democratically, we are likely to get more gains in the society since everyone feels that they get fair treatment. Democracy, however, has its weaknesses since it is not a perfect process. In this section, we are going to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of democracy in Mexico.

Politics are still corrupt and scandal-ridden, with parties often focused more on individuals than on programmes for action. And while progress has been made, the Mexican state is still far from comfortable with the concepts of accountability and transparency.
