JOHNSON, Paul e CANTU, Francisco. The Nationalization of Mexican Parties. Polít. gob [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, ePYG1276. Epub 17-Fev-2021. ISSN 1665-2037.
This article evaluates the nationalization of Mexican parties during the 1994-2018 period. To do so, we use data from the last nine federal elections in the country and apply two alternative measurements of party nationalization. First, we estimate the levels of static and dynamic nationalization among Mexico’s major parties. Second, we analyze the importance of national, state, and district factors in order to explain the variance of the parties’ electoral support. The overall results show that PRI has been the most nationalized party since 1994, while PAN and PRD show regionalized patterns of support but with uniform fluctuations over time. The findings also portray Morena as a highly nationalized party, and that both PRI and PAN continue to rely on their national strength during elections.
