From Martyrdom to Power provides a comprehensive examination of the origins, development, and rising electoral prominence of Mexicos Partido Acción Nacional (PAN). Yemile Mizrahi, widely recognized as a leading authority on this topic, has based this book on extensive research and original field work over the past ten years. Her personal interviews with government officials and party leaders and her surveys of public opinion in three Mexican states enrich this unique study.Mizrahis theoretical and empirical analysis of the electoral success of PAN is situated within a larger assessment of political parties and the changes they undergo. Her discussion of how and why political parties adjust to changes in the political landscape is particularly relevant to scholars of Latin America. Mizrahi contends that PAN party leaders have not acted quickly or decisively enough in making internal changes that will allow them to make a smooth transition from a survivalist minority party to Mexicos ruling party. In contrast to the past, when the PANs main problems were associated with its inefficacy in the electoral arena, today the party confronts problems associated with its electoral success. Mizrahi argues that PANs relatively unchanged party structure presents serious obstacles to electoral expansion. Mizrahis account is analytically powerful and offers clear policy and political suggestions for her subject itself.This definitive work will be welcomed by political scientists, policy makers, and scholars of Latin America.
