| Sumario: | It has been argued by a sector of international doctrine that federalism makes practically no difference in the way people are governed and that it has no direct relationship with democracy. This leads us to ask if it has made any difference in Mexico and what relationship it has with democracy. The work aims to confront the arguments that are commonly put forward to defend federalism through a deductive-inductive analysis. The main hypothesis is that none of the arguments is enough for a country with the characteristics of Mexico to adopt the dual federal system of powers. Likewise, a derived hypothesis is that it is an unfailing requirement for a successful federalism that the constituent parts be self-governing and self-sufficient, which does not occur in the vast majority of local governments in Mexico. |
