En México, la reforma político-electoral de 2013-2014 produjo cambios relevantes en los artículos 41 y 54 de la Constitución, relativos al umbral electoral que requiere un partido para mantener su registro y acceder a escaños, conforme al sistema de representación proporcional.

objective was to analyze the parliamentary debate, its implications, and outcomes.... view less
