Federalismo, reforma y gobierno dividido en México

Abstract

The process of political negotiation in Mexico has not been easy. It requires willingness and commitment, as well as pragmatism and rationality. The actors involved in politics pursue interests and to achieve them they participate in dialogues and meetings with others. The reconstruction of the country after the Mexican Revolution was a sign of a broad-spectrum negotiation. The Federalism, a flag raised during the revolutionary combats, was a current demand at the beginning of the New Mexican State and during the Twentieth Century originating constitutional reforms. In short, the political negotiation and the prevailing order changed when the emanated party from the Revolution lost its hegemony in the legislative power and new dynamics of cohabitation were promoted.
