Abstract

This paper will concern itself with certain aspects of the relations between the government, the dominant political party and the labour movement in Mexico. As in most countries, this set of relationships is complex. In Mexico perhaps more so than in many of the newly independent countries they are subtle and difficult to describe adequately. Formal institutions in independent Mexico have grown slowly over a period of more than a century, and below the crust of these formal institutions there has grown a body of custom and living practice, a knowledge and deep understanding of which is necessary to any interpretation of Mexican political and economic phenomena. For this reason, rather than to try to deal with the whole question on an abstract level, this paper will treat it selectively, and essentially by illustration from two cases.
