ABSTRACT
In his chapter, Mario Virgilio Santiago Jiménez describes the development of the right in Mexico between the end of the 1910–1917 revolution and the year 2020. He identifies the existence of three ideological families that have shaped a spectrum: the Catholic, the liberal conservative, and the neoliberal. Although these families have practically coexisted during the entire period covered in this chapter, each one has occupied a central place at different historical periods: the post-revolution (1920–1945), revolutionary nationalism (1946–1975), and the neoliberal consensus (1975–2015). Finally, it is suggested that although a left-wing coalition is now governing Mexico, the right-wing families are still alive and well in the Mexican political culture.
