About the Book – p. 337  aThis book dives deep into the internal dynamics of Mexico’s largest left‐wing party, the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). Mossige examines why the PRD has struggled with internal turmoil despite notable electoral progress—particularly after the contentious 2006 presidential election.
His central argument highlights a persistent divide within the PRD: one faction pushes for a conventional party model centered on governance and electoral success, while another remains closely aligned with social movement tactics and grassroots mobilization. This tension, he argues, underlies many of the party’s conflicts and setbacks.24aPartido de la Revolución Democrática (México) 0aRight and left (Political science) 4aDerecha e izquierda (Ciencias políticas)  0aIntra-party disagreements (Political parties) 0aMexicoxPolitics and governmenty2000- 4aMéxico xPolítica y gobiernoy2000-
