Until recently, private law and family law scholars have generally dismissed the issue of federalism within Mexico, largely because of the belief that Mexico is not "really" federalist given its strong tendency toward political and legal centralism. Despite this preconception -and the fact that Mexico does have a highly centralized federal system- a deeper analysis shows that states and sub-national jurisdictions have played a critical role in shaping the contours of family law and influencing the state-federal relationship. This article argues that the centralist doctrine that so permeates scholarly works on private law in Mexico -if not addressed and revised both for the past and present- risks undermining attempts at understanding legal change and improving Mexican family law.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Este artículo es evidencia de la necesidad de situar debates de federalismo, descentralización, centralización y soberanía en el contexto de derecho comparado y derecho familiar. Hasta hace poco, académicos de derecho privado y familiar han desestimado la cuestión del federalismo. Esta desestimación se ha basado en la creencia generalizada de que en México no existe un verdadero federalismo dado el alto grado de centralismo político y jurídico que ha primado en el país. Sin embargo, un análisis más afondo muestra que, a pesar del sistema federal centralizado, los estados y jurisdicciones sub-nacionales han jugado un papel igualmente importante a la hora de definir la política sobre derecho familiar y las relaciones entre federación y estados. Este trabajo argumenta, que la doctrina de centralismo que tanto permea la forma en que pensamos sobre derecho privado en México es una narrativa peligrosa que -de no ser abordada o revisada de alguna manera, en términos del pasado o del presente- puede socavar esfuerzos para entender el cambio jurídico y mejorar el derecho familiar en México.]]></p></abstract>
