Friends forever? Ruptures in the PRI and their effect on social spending during electoral authoritarianism in Mexico (1988-2000)

Asimismo, se ha analizado cómo reaccionan los utócratas. Podría pensarse que comienzan por reprimir a los “traidores”. Sin embargo, mi argumento es que existe una estrategia menos riesgosa para solventar la amenaza de las rupturas. Sostengo que los autócratas podrían apelar a las masas a través de incrementos en el gasto social y así evitar que éstas sean cooptadas por los desertores. Examino este argumento con modelos para datos panel y evidencia de la época autoritaria en México a nivel estatal.El Colegio de México A.C.2022-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://forointernacional.colmex.mx/index.php/fi/article/view/288410.24201/fi.v62i3.2884Foro Internacional; Vol. LXII, 3 (249) july - september, 2022; 559-607Foro Internacional; Vol. LXII, 3 (249) julio - septiembre, 2022; 559-6072448-65230185-013Xreponame:Foro Internacionalinstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://forointernacional.colmex.mx/index.php/fi/article/view/2884/2909https://forointernacional.colmex.mx/index.php/fi/article/view/2884/2917Derechos de autor 2022 Foro Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.forointernacional.colmex.mx:article/28842024-08-16T22:09:51Z
