The future of Documents on Mexican Politics

On July 2nd, 2000 Mexico underwent its largest internal transformation since the end of the revolution in 1917-1920. This time however, change was achieved throught peaceful and democratic means, although at no small cost. Since 1994 this page was dedicated to the pursuit of such democratic change. As this transition has been achieved, the focus of this page must change.

The papers collected here used to reflect the experiences gained over sixteen long years of personal political work. Their new focus will reflect the effects democratic change, its possible avenues, and its potential outcome.

We hope readers will continue to find this forum as useful as in the past. I would like to hear your comments and suggestions about this page.
