The Mexican Citizen in Transition (PhD Thesis)

This research attempts to explain the effect on citizens of the move towards a more open and participatory society. Many studies have been conducted on the relationship between the Mexican citizen and the Mexican voter. Such studies have examined the differences in political values among different generations, the instability of partisan identification, and the ability of voters to anticipate economic scenarios and to make political and electoral decisions. This research attempts to answer a key question relevant to the country’s development: do Mexicans internalise political and economic affairs in different ways in the context of political competitiveness and economic openness? Have Mexicans improved the way they interiorise these affairs?
