Abstract

CORTEZ SALINAS, Josafat. Qualitative Comparative Analysis: Supreme Court's decisions against the president in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2014, vol.76, n.3, pp.413-439. ISSN 2594-0651.

This paper explains the conditions of sufficiency and/or necessity in which the Supreme Court in Mexico votes against the president in constitutional disputes. It also uses the Qualitative Comparative Analysis to compare the decisions made during a 12-year period. The author proves that the Supreme Court in Mexico behaves strategically, by voting against the president on the issues on its political agenda and when none of its members has been nominated by the incumbent president.

Keywords : judges; Supreme Court; executive branch.
