Book Reviews: Comparative Politics

Several significant points embellish the book in more than one of the chapters. U.S. journalists' and policymakers' preoccupation with Mexican electoral fraud and putative violence ill serves them in their attempt to fathom the deeper meaning of electoral politics within the Mexican system. PAN is certainly increasing its electoral support, but it is still far from possessing the ability or the strength to pretend to be an alternative to the official party on the national level. The so-called Neopanistas imply stresses and strains within the party. By comparing electoral returns over time or by comparing them with survey research data, analysis of electoral returns can be a fruitful research exercise even in Mexico's authoritarian system, frequently characterized by electoral fraud corrupting the validity of the official returns.
