Abstract: Democracy and Political Order in Mexico
This thesis examines how democratic transition affects the state's
ability to provide
political order. By analyzing the effect of electoral turnover
between political parties on
homicide rates in Mexican municipalities between 2001-2010, this
study aims to explain
the variation in political order at the local level in a society
that continues to struggle with
law and order. Using a regression model with random intercepts for
municipalities and
years, this study found that municipalities without any change in
party control had higher
levels of homicide than those that did experience turnover,
supporting the theory on
accountability. Furthermore, this study finds a strongly
significant relationship between
various socioeconomic factors and political order in Mexican
municipalities. The positive
relationship between unemployment and violence suggests that in
order to provide
security to its citizens, Mexico needs to not only focus its
efforts on improving the state
and legal institutions, but also invest in its social capital as
well.
