Jacket photographs coutesy of Corbis. Jacket design by BAD. keywords: Mexico Politics History Presidents Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In PERPETUATING POWER, Jorge Castaneda illuminates the mystifying workings of power in Mexico, taking readers on a guided tour through the maze that leads to the Mexican presidential palace. Since the 1920s, Mexico has conducted presidential elections every six years. And every six years Mexico has elected the hand-picked successor of the sitting president. To outside observers, especially Americans accustomed to a fractious and relatively unpredictable political process, what stands out about the Mexican system is its odd mixture of democratic pretensions with inevitability: there are always elections, but everyone knows the next president will be the candidate of the aptly named Party of the Institutional Revolution, which has governed Mexico throughout most of the last century. The system's beneficiaries have praised it as Latin America's most successful, and certainly most long-lived, democracy. Others have taken a dimmer view. One political commentator has said that, ‘Mexicans avoid personal dictatorship by retiring their dictators every six years. ' In six penetrating essays, combined with interviews by the author with each of the living Mexican ex-presidents, Castaneda provides a remarkably candid account of the political machinery of Mexican presidential politics and a view, startling to political outsiders, of how power really operates. inventory #29497.
