Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to place Mexico and the United States in comparative perspective and identify the most important dimensions of elite control over mass political participation—particularly of organized labor—in two different political regimes: a democratic and a postrevolutionary authoritarian one. For this, I will analyze how the linkages between the state and labor organizations influenced patterns of political change in the first decades of the XX century. At the same time, I will examine the dynamics of the Mexican-American labor alliance, and its impact in the process of political and institutional reform.

This paper will be divided into three parts and the period of analysis will cover the years from 1910 to 1940. The first two sections will provide a historical account of the developments and role of organized labor in the process of political and institutional change in the two countries. The third part will present a comparative analysis developed at three levels: a) the process of regime formation; b) the participation of the labor movement, and c) the dynamics of international labor politics.

In sum, with this work, I will try to demonstrate that in two different political regimes—a democratic and a postrevolutionary authoritarian one—institutional arrangements developed in a very similar way at a certain point of time. And even more important, I will try to show how the process of political and institutional reform in Mexico was, in certain way, influenced by the United States, and how in this period the role of the labor movement was determinant.
