ATTILI, Antonella. Democracy and Rule of Law: Between Post and Future. Polis [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.1, pp.21-53. ISSN 2594-0686.
Mexico’s political transformation of the last 30 years is a very complex and problematic process that can only be understood in the long run. This process has to be studied and shaped at the same time. The paper proposes a critical global diagnosis of the results and limits of Mexico’s political transformation, with the objective of promoting an analysis of (1) how the social and political relations changed in the democratization process and, (2) the forms future political change could take. The relationship between democracy and the rule of law is crucial in more than one sense, despite the limits imposed by Mexico’s current political situation. In fact, it is precisely the persistence of limits in that relation which makes it central and decisive for the analysis of Mexico’s political transformation.
