Abstract
This paper illustrates the divergent party alliances established by former corporatist organisations to influence policymaking after the demise of one-party rule in Mexico. Using a Most Similar Systems Design, the analysis suggests that variations in outcome owe to: a) the extent to which the organisation was relevant for advancing and implementing the agenda of the new presidential party and b) the ability of the organisation in question's leadership to loosen its formal ties with the PRI. The argument is grounded on three cases studies: the National Farm Workers’ Confederation, the National Teachers’ Union and the Confederation of Mexican Workers. The period under study is 2000–2012, which covers the first two non-PRI presidencies – of Vicente Fox (2000–2006) and then Felipe Calderon (2006–2012).
