Why the PRI Won the 1991 Elections
-
Riordan Roett, ed., Boulder, Colo.: Lynne Rienner
-
In 1991, the PRI was able to reconcile strong central control and selection of electable candidates in its impressive rebound from the 1988 elections, when it barely retained its majority in the Chamber of Deputies. See Luis Donaldo Colosio, "Why the PRI Won the 1991 Elections," in Riordan Roett, ed., Political and Economic Liberalization in Mexico: At a Critical Juncture? (Boulder, Colo.: Lynne Rienner, 1993), 155-65. That strategy, however, was aided by government control over elections and by strong leadership in the presidency and PRI, and its success preceded the 1994-95 peso crisis and subsequent parade of scandals.

note
-
The alacrity with which the opposition united took the PRI by surprise, and the ability of opposition party leaders to use vague and conflicting provisions in the statutes governing the Chamber strengthened their hand in negotiations with the PRI and presidency.

Crime statistics are notoriously inaccurate, but the trends are clear for the country as a whole. "Between 1995 and 1996 the crime rate rose 6 percent in common crime and 17 percent in federal crime. Nonviolent robberies were up 13.2 percent, violent robbery up 5.6 percent, and bank robberies rose 12.6 percent. The incidence of crime per 100,000 inhabitants rose overall 9.3 percent."
