The overall objective is to know under what circumstances or conditions is satisfied the political élite in Sinaloa. Sinaloa is taken that despite not been an important entity politicians have maintained a strong presence in national politics, from the revolutionary governments until the PAN political alternation. The hypothesis maintains is that the formation of the political élite in Sinaloa results from the checks and territorial presence exerted small regional groups whose recruitment and socialization is more a family or relationship issues that professional type.
