“…Furthermore, the new party in government (the PAN) had long been characterised for its anti‐corporatist stance. In its documents, the PAN is formally against both state interference in union affairs and mandatory affiliation of unions to any political party (Wuhs, , p. 173). In fact, one of the campaign promises of President Fox was to democratise state‐society relations (Mayer, , p. 12).…”

This paper illustrates the divergent party alliances established by former corporatist organisations to influence policymaking after the demise of oneparty rule in Mexico. Using a Most Similar Systems Design, the analysis suggests that variations in outcome owe to: a) the extent to which the organisation was relevant for advancing and implementing the agenda of the new presidential party and b) the ability of the organisation in question's leadership to loosen its formal ties with the PRI. The argument is grounded on threeThe authoritarian regime that held power in Mexico from 1929 to 2000 was underpinned by the subordination and dependence of sectoral organisations (including labour unions, the peasantry and popular associations) to the hegemonic party -the Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional, PRI) and therefore the state. In this corporatist arrangement, 1 these organisations were kept in line through a series of legal provisions -including mandatory membership, representational monopoly, governmental recognition and restrictions on protest activities. In exchange, the leaders of official organisations were guaranteed political representation, policy influence and access to state subsidies and welfare services. In order to receive these benefits, the rank-and-file had to follow the orders of their leaders, who, in turn, were accountable to the president and the party in power.This corporatist structure thus allowed the PRI to control social dissidence, cement loyalties within the Mexican electorate and ultimately to remain in power for seven decades overall. However, beginning in the 1980s, the PRI began to lose more municipalities and governorships to opposition parties. It lost its majority in the lower house of C

“…11 En contraste, los empresarios comenzaron a participar activamente en la vida pública a través del pan después de la nacionalización de la banca, dado que compartían con dicho partido una agenda de protección de derechos de propiedad que habían sido violentados por los gobiernos priistas. A diferencia de los panistas tradicionales, los empresarios usaron estrategias más agresivas y de confrontación que los hicieron más atractivos electoralmente (Wuhs, 2012). Los primeros triunfos del pan en el norte del país los obtuvieron miembros de cámaras empresariales 12 y, finalmente, el primer presidente de la república de oposición contaba con este tipo de antecedentes (Haber et al, 2008;Wuhs, 2010;Wuhs, 2012;Thacker, 2012).…”

Resumen La literatura ha asumido que los grupos de interés actúan como actores externos al Congreso y que influyen en la toma decisiones mediante intercambios políticos o persuasión. Sin embargo, aquí mostramos que los grupos de interés están representados en el Congreso mexicano. Este trabajo analiza las carreras de 1500 diputados para explorar la relación entre partidos políticos y grupos de interés. Teóricamente sostenemos que los partidos políticos dan acceso a grupos de interés que aumentan sus probabilidades de éxito y que son cercanos a sus políticas preferidas. Los resultados muestran una estrecha relación entre los grupos empresariales y los partidos de derecha, en especial el Partido Acción Nacional, y que hay mayores probabilidades de acceso para los grupos empresariales en el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (pri) y el Partido Verde Ecologista de México. En contraste, los grupos sindicales y civiles son representados por partidos de izquierda y el pri.
