GONZALEZ TULE, Luis A.. Substantive representation in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2016, vol.78, n.2, pp.285-315. ISSN 2594-0651.

In federal systems, it is often said that the work of legislators is linked to the interests of the state authorities, particularly governors and to a lesser extent, local party leaders. Using the bills and budget amendments promoted in the Chamber of Deputies during the LX Legislature (2006-2009) as units of analysis, this paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of political representation in Mexico. It seeks to understand the latter and contrast a number of assumptions commonly associated with the operation of federal systems.

Palabras llave : political representation; federal systems; Chamber of Deputies in Mexico; LX Legislature.
