\n Original title: 18 a\u00f1os de gobiernos panistas en Jalisco: siete ensayos acad\u00e9micos<\/em>\n <\/div>\n

\n Juan S. Larrosa-Fuentes and Jorge E. Rocha Quintero (Eds.) \u00b7 ITESO\n <\/p>\n

\n After six decades of PRI governments, Jalisco became one of the first Mexican states to experience political alternation. In 1995, the PAN won the governorship and remained in power for three consecutive six-year terms. The book examines this period through seven academic essays addressing the economy, electoral geography, social movements, transparency, government communication, relations between the press and political power, and transformations in the ownership of the communication system.\n <\/p>\n
