The 1988 presidential election in Mexico was the beginning of a new era in Mexican history. In this volume, scholars and political practitioners explore the implications of the election for the Mexican political system and for Mexico's international relationships, especially with the United States. In particular, the contributors examine the reasons for the explosive changes in the electoral system and discuss the political inheritance of President Salinas de Gortari.
