Origen y cambio en la concentración intrapartidaria de poder. Los casos del pri, pan y prd.

Abstract

The problem of the concentration of intraparty power is nothing new as it is a theme common to classic writings by Ostrogorski, Michels, Duverger and Panebianco, among others. However, studies of organizational life in Mexico have been characterized largely by purely conjunctural analyses that fail to reveal the trajectories and changes of the ountry¿s main political parties from their genesis to today: the Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido evolucionario Institucional, pri), the National Action Party (Partido Acción Nacional, pan), and the Democratic Revolutionary Party (Partido de la Revolución Democrática, prd).
