TEJERA, Héctor  and  CASTANEDA, Diana. Estructura política, redes político-clientelares y oscilaciones electorales en la Ciudad de México. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.50, pp.227-246. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl2550-011-2017.

The supremacy of the PRD as the ruling party in Mexico City has led the consolidation of a political elite associated to different party factions. This elite supports its influence in a political structure of control, based in patronage networks. Linking participant observation and in-depth interviews, analysis of georeferenced clusters of electoral behavior, and comparison between case studies, the article shows the effects of the action of these networks in the electoral field; demonstrating all the above by studying the electoral conflicts in two political delegations in the aforementioned city.

Keywords : Clientelism; political networks; political parties; City of Mexico; elections; Iztapalapa; Cuajimalpa.
