“…Agenda setting at national level. The social pension became very popular in Mexico City and nationally (Azuara, 2005;Grayson, 2007;Lajous, 2009;Laurell & Cisneros, 2015;Willmore, 2014). AMLO explicitly placed Mexico City's social policy as an alternative to that implemented by the federal government (Grayson, 2007;Lajous, 2009).…”

“…The social pension became very popular in Mexico City and nationally (Azuara, 2005;Grayson, 2007;Lajous, 2009;Laurell & Cisneros, 2015;Willmore, 2014). AMLO explicitly placed Mexico City's social policy as an alternative to that implemented by the federal government (Grayson, 2007;Lajous, 2009). The purpose was to show that a different socio-economic model was feasible, as well as to make something different and better to benefit the most of the population, especially the poor (A.C. Laurell, personal communication, May 31, 2013).…”

The re‐emergence of universalistic social policy in Latin America in the 2000s, led to the implementation of non‐contributory and unconditional old‐pensions programmes in the region. Unlike other Latin American countries, these programmes originated at the subnational level in Mexico. In 2001, Mexico City's government implemented the first universal programme of social pensions in the country. This work seeks to explain why and how this policy innovation emerged and became a social right in Mexico City, in spite of the dominance of a neoliberal policy paradigm at the national level. This analysis shows the decisive role of the struggle of key actors over policy ideas in the creation of social pensions in Mexico, as well as its interaction with other economic, political and institutional factors, in a federal context.

Months after Mexico's independent electoral institute had validated the July 2, 2006, presidential elections, and weeks after the autonomous electoral court had certified National Action Party (PAN) candidate Felipe Calderón as president, runner-up Andrés Manuel López Obrador continued to cry foul. Days before the court's final September 5 ruling, López Obrador (known widely as “AMLO”), representing the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) and the Coalition for the Good of All, decided to disband the mobilizations blocking some of Mexico City's main transportation arteries, but to continue protesting indefinitely, and to name a “shadow cabinet,” to press Calderón. López Obrador lost the election by a hair (a mere 233,831 votes, out of over 41,700,000 cast—the final certified number after electoral court rulings), but he did lose, and in a “free and fair” contest organized by one of the world's more respected electoral institutions.
