Abstract

T his article depicts the different roads that Latin America followed toward democratization the 1980 ·s. According to the theoretical scheme introduced in this essay, breakdowns among the elites, pacts and political reforms are the typical forms linked with the transition processes that inaugurated democratic regimes along the continent. In this theoretical context, Mexico initiated a process of political liberalization and democratic transition mirrored in the defeat of the PRI, the hegemonic party, in the presidential elections in the year 2000. Finally this paper highlights the differences and similarities that Mexico shares with other Latin America nations in its process toward consolidation of democracy and the degree of institutionalization achieved by its party system.
