The change to populism in public administration in Mexico
Abstract
For the theoretical approach of historical institutionalism, the relationship between political change and populism in public administration would present particularities in all States. The various historical, social and cultural factors can explain why political changes in Mexico do not occur abruptly, but develop gradually over time. This can have a significant impact on democracy and public policy making. In particular, the article focuses on political change as an institutional change during the 2012-2018 federal government period and what happened in the 2018-2023 period, presenting the Mexican case as an example of how populist governments can seek to control the administration. public to implement its policies without restrictions. In this sense, populist governments can target structures, resources, personnel, norms, and accountability relationships to weaken existing institutions and replace them with new structures more in tune with their agenda. It concludes by stating that this can weaken the integrity and effectiveness of public administration and further erode confidence in democratic institutions. The political change of populist governments has an anti-populist reform agenda, which means that they seek to undermine the democratic norms and structures that limit their power.
