Los efectos de la competencia electoral en la selección de candidatos del PRI en la Cámara de Diputados
Abstract
This article investigates changes in legislative recruitment within the PRI to bring to light how rising levels of electoral competition are affecting the internal relations of power within the heretofore hegemonic party in Mexico. It assumes federal deputy candidacies to be benefits which were and are distributed to groups and sectors within the eie to ensure their continued loyalty and promote alliance formation. When elections were not competitive, the three sectors of the party, and the cabinet secretaries were among the most favored groups. By comparing the backgrounds of deputies in 1985 and 1997, the author is able to show that rising levels of competition, allowed governors and the national and state bureaucracies of the party to use the threat of defeat at the polls to win more political space within the PRI.
