political parties’ contribution to Mexican democracy, second, to
evaluate the actual situation of Mexican political transition. We
intend to focus our analysis in the three most important political
parties in the country: Partido de Acción Nacional (PAN), Partido
Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), and Partido de la Revolución
Democrática (PRD). The role of political parties in the building of
Mexican democracy has been dissimilar. The PAN contributed to
disseminate and to build institutions and democratic values; the PRI
enhanced political stability and institutionality —two essential
elements in democracy’s life—, and the PRD embodied social policies
in Mexican democratic agenda. The methodology employed is more
theoretical than historical because the conceptual component that
impels the analysis is democratic theory. We’ll analyze only the last
25 years because Mexico has experimented the most important
political changes in that period.[+][-]
