Description
The last four Mexican presidents started their terms as popular figures but finished embattled and in difficulty. This may seem surprising given the extreme formal power which Mexican presidents wield. Why should political leaders with so much formal power so frequently fail to achieve their objectives? The key to this apparent paradox lies in the relationship between presidential power in Mexico and the power of key societal groups. This is the first full-length study of the way in which this relationship has evolved from the early 1960s.
