SINGELMANN, Peter. Political Transformation in Mexico and the PRI's Sugar Cane Workers' Unions. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2003, vol.65, n.1, pp.117-152. ISSN 2594-0651.

This article examines the dissolution of the post-revolutionary political pact, its implications for the new role assigned to the sugar-cane plantation workers' unions and the obstacles facing this transformation. Political confrontations and alliances constitute key factors in determining the final direction of the structural transformation, with data that suggest that the new regime is adept at using old political practices to institutionalize the new economic paradigm.

Palavras-chave : sugar-cane plantation workers; PRI; corporativism; democratization; neoliberal reform; political customs.
