Since then, there has been much debate about the reasons for the PAN's successful challenge to decades of authoritarian rule. Patricia Olney makes a rich, nuanced contribution to that debate, explaining Mexico's transition to democracy from the perspective of municipal-level politics UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626377684 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626377684 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626377684/original ER -
