When Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in as Mexico's 66th president and its first female leader, political analysts focused their research on the potential impact of her presidency on the advancement of social transformation and the deepening of gender equality.Featuring chapters from highly respected researchers, whose work has been critical to promoting gender parity in Mexico, Women as Constructors of Parity Democracy in Mexico chronicles the evolution of women's integration into Mexico’s public sphere during the nation’s democratic transition, scrutinizing the tangible impacts of women's political representation within the initial years of the parity model, while dissecting the political currents that either advanced or impeded the women's agenda. The book is divided into three parts and consists of nine chapters that follow a common framework, highlighting how women politicians and activists operate within the legislative and executive branchs to bring about change in the field of gender politics.Women as Builders of Parity Democracy in Mexico will be of interest to researchers and postgraduates studying gender and politics in Mexico.

The Power of Opposition: Legislative Effectiveness in Mexico's Multiparty Democracy develops a theory of legislative effectiveness in presidential systems where it is rare for presidents to control a majority of seats in the legislature. Legislators belonging to the president’s party are often constrained in their behavior as the executive branch has an overarching interest in ensuring copartisan legislative proposals fit within the president’s agenda. Executive bills often require bargains with the opposition to secure votes, and legislators from the president’s party may find their bills coopted by the president, or blocked if they conflict with presidential priorities. As a result, legislators from governing parties are generally less effective when it comes to their own initiatives. Presidents allow the opposition to push their own priorities through the legislative process, or provide credit-claiming opportunities on major presidential initiatives. Since opposition legislators can exchange votes on executive bills for presidential support on opposition-led initiatives, they are generally more effective at navigating their own proposals through the legislative process. Yann P. Kerevel and Sergio A. Bárcena Juárez demonstrate support for this argument drawing on extensive quantitative data from Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies from 1997-2024, and interviews with numerous lawmakers and staffers.
