HERNANDEZ, Gerardo. The political change in Quintana Roo and the risk of the institutional equilibrium persistence. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.70, pp.85-134. ISSN 1665-0565.

This paper analyzes the institutional design of the state of Quintana Roo and its political change during 2016 elections. In this context, it is exposed that beyond the causes that led to democratic change in the state, these are not decisive to consolidate the political change due to the original institutional design, which manifests itself in a bureaucratized society and depending on government agents, which faces a dichotomy: on the one hand, it seeks an improvement in the state government decisions, and on the other hand it resists the institutional equilibrium change on which its socio-political structure was designed. The analysis is carried out with the theoretical contributions of New Institutionalism and Subnational Democracy, supported by open interviews with key actors of local politics.

Palavras-chave : political change; institutional design; New Institutionalism; Subnational Democracy; bureaucratization.
