La presencia de un candidato independiente en dicho proceso des­encadenó un fenómeno inédito de democracia participativa y pluralismo democrático resul­tado, en gran medida, de una campaña política innovadora que dio impulso a la liberalización política y ciudadana, que al final impactó sustan­tivamente en la orientación del voto estratégico. El desarrollo de esta campaña política es exami­nado aquí a la luz de las estrategias utilizadas, tales como la autocomunicación de masas, los debates políticos televisados y las encuestas del periódico El Norte.Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales2017-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rmcpys/article/view/5839310.1016/S0185-1918(17)30049-1Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 62 No. 231 (2017): Dossier: Medios, mediación y cultura política en América LatinaRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 62 Núm. 231 (2017): Dossier: Medios, mediación y cultura política en América LatinaRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 62 No. 231 (2017): Dossier: Medios, mediación y cultura política en América Latina2448-492X0185-191810.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2017.231reponame:Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Socialesinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rmcpys/article/view/58393/54276Derechos de autor 2017 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Socialesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/583932024-08-16T19:53:58Z
