Abstract
ANDRADE GUEVARA, VÍCTOR MANUEL. Violence and political regime in Veracruz, México: 1936-2016. memorias [online]. 2018, n.35, pp.55-78. ISSN 1794-8886. https://doi.org/10.14482/memor.35.10802.
In this work, I intend to analyze the relationships between the changes in the subnational political regime of Veracruz, Mexico's state with the changes that have been observed in the forms of violence, in turn reviewing how violence has affected the development of political regime, especially the electoral regime. Based on the theory of social structuring, the hypothesis that guides the work revolves around the idea that the violence that has been presented in recent years in Veracruz is not only related to the expansion of organized crime, but also has a history in a series of events framed by structural elements typical of the local political regime that was formed from 1936 to 2016, a period in which the Institutional Revolutionary Party maintained the hegemony.
Keywords : authoritarian electoral regime; violence; state-organized crime.
