Political Competition and Inestability in the Mexican Political Cabinet
Abstract
Recent inestability in the Mexican political cabinet (1989-1999) follows mechanisms and structural causes. Longitudinal data analusis leads to the conclusion that, in the first place, the variable "competitive multiparty system" shows greater explanatory power than some economic variables (GDP growth, inflation, existment of an adjustmenteconomic program) that have been traditionally associated to governmental and cabinet inestability, it can be stated that it consists in the Executive's ration decision to actively exercise his removal and appointment powers in order to forge inter-party coalitions. The latter enables him to advance his legislative agenda and to attenuate intraparty faccionalism in the incumbent party.
