A ""bottom-up"" perspective on democratization, correcting analyses that view the process in Mexico as flowing down from the President. The author challenges existing theories by stressing the importance of strong social institutions for the development of democracy.

Trade Review
“[Chand] uses the state of Chihuahua to examine changes in Mexican politics since the 1980’s that produced local and national victories for PAN, or the National Action Party.”—Chronicle of Higher Education, March 2002
“The role of [the Catholic Church, political parties, and labor unions] in transforming Mexico’s political culture and democratizing its political system from the ‘bottom up’ is the centerpiece of Vikram Chand’s extremely valuable book.” —Journal of Democracy, October 2002
