Abstract
With the end of the 70 years long regime of the state party PRI and the start of the administration of president Vicente Fox in December 2000, a profound change in Mexican social policies in general and in the poverty reduction discourse and strategies in particular announced itself. In the context of Mexico's economic and political transformation, however, the government was forced to work on multiple policy areas at the same time. As a result, strategic mistakes were made on the one hand, on the other hand, marginal policy sectors, and poverty reduction was doubtlessly one of them, were neglected because resources and organizational and planning capacities were totally absorbed by key tasks. Furthermore, political institutions and policies are path-dependent and change only incrementally. In regard to the poverty reduction discourse and strategies there is unquestionably a great deal of continuity even in the first phase of the Fox era.
