Yemile Mizrahi, widely recognized as a leading authority on this topic, has based this book on extensive research and original field work over the past ten years. Her personal interviews with government officials and party leaders and her surveys of public opinion in three Mexican states enrich this unique study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMizrahi's theoretical and empirical analysis of the electoral success of PAN is situated within a larger assessment of political parties and the changes they undergo. Her discussion of how and why political parties adjust to changes in the political landscape is particularly relevant to scholars of Latin America. Mizrahi contends that PAN party leaders have not acted quickly or decisively enough in making internal changes that will allow them to make a smooth transition from a survivalist minority party to Mexico's ruling party. In contrast to the past, when the PAN's main problems were associated with its inefficacy in the electoral arena, today the party confronts problems associated with its electoral success. Mizrahi argues that PAN's relatively unchanged party structure presents serious obstacles to electoral expansion. Mizrahi's account is analytically powerful and offers clear policy and political suggestions for her subject itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis definitive work will be welcomed by political scientists, policy makers, and scholars of Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yemile Mizrahi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268028702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268028701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 5.90w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2004 pg. 1956\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 76","brand":"Yemile Mizrahi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135956463871,"sku":"9780268028701","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4cb0dc07-339c-4a0b-ae2e-85481c0daea6.jpg?v=1770159563","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-martyrdom-to-power-yemile-mizrahi-9780268028701","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
