Many countries in Latin America are holding presidential elections this year. On the aftermath of the recent election in Mexico, Professor Adler Lomnitz offers a rich interdisciplinary analysis of contemporary political culture in Mexico, focusing on the structure, beliefs and practices of political parties, especially the last campaign of the PRI, the dominant party for the past 75 years, and the nature of Mexican democracy at the turn of the 21st century.
