Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Protest event analysis has been concerned more with the relation between mobilization and shifting political opportunities than with the substance of claims. While there is plenty of event analyses of claim making, few of them have done serious analysis of claim making. This paper intends to fill this hole in the literature and presents the analysis of “claim networks”. Using a database of over three thousand events of popular protests in Mexico between 1964 and 2000, I reexamine an important finding from Sergio Tamayo’s political discourse analysis, namely, transformation of social protests demanding social and economic rights into political protests demanding civil and political rights. By examining how popular groups make claims of different citizenship rights (civil, political, social, etc.), this study discovers that political rights –crucial for democratization—became predominant claims in the neoliberal period not necessarily in term of frequencies these claims were asserted. Rather, the real importance of political rights lies in that popular groups needed to address political issues even when they were trying to satisfy other issues like social rights, civil rights, or economic and material demands. Mexico’s democratic movements became durable and powerful because these were closely tied to everyday economic and material issues.
