One of the lesser-acknowledged conclusions from analyses of the third wave of democratization relates to the importance of conservatives to democratic consolidation. Yet we know very little about the way that such interests are incorporated into the formal, institutional arena of parties and elections – especially as relates to business interests. This is true in spite of a clear, cross-regional rise in the presence of entrepreneurs themselves in politics. This article generates and evaluates a set of expectations for the political behavior of business interests. I focus my empirical attention on Mexico, where such interests are historically speaking very well organized internally, and analyze the incorporation of business-association members into the parliamentary delegation of Mexico's three major political parties. I conclude by considering where we might look for the political mobilization of business interests in the interest of establishing a research agenda for the future.... view less

Una de las conclusiones principales de los análisis de la "tercera ola de democratización" es la importancia de los intereses conservadores para los procesos de consolidación democrática. Pero poco se sabe de la manera en que aquellos intereses se incorporan a la política institucional de partidos y elec-ciones, particularmente en el caso de intereses empresariales – a pesar de un incremento internacional en la presencia política de la clase empresarial.

Se enfoca en el contexto mexicano, donde tales intereses son bien organizados históricamente. Se analiza la incorporación de los miembros de asociaciones empresariales en las bancadas legislativas de los tres partidos principales. Se concluye con una reflexión sobre una línea de investigación de la movilización política de estos intereses conservadores.... view less
