This paper is based on the author's doctoral thesis, "La Construction of the University Power Agenda," which recounted the 1999 student conflict at the National Autonomous U of Mexico (UNAM) over the university's decision to raise tuition fees. UNAM was closed for 10 months. The author conducted a representative questionnaire survey of 766 students (of different educational levels & academic disciplines) on 22, 23, & 27 Mar 1999 to measure student opinion about the fee increase & the conflict. An exacerbating factor in the conflict was the high level of political activity that year, leading up to the national elections. Most of the students were against the fee increases, but they were also against the protest & violence on the part of some students. Adapted from the source document.

In this article the political figure of Alberto Lista y Aragon is analysed under a conceptual methodology and a detailed review of historical references used by this author in his writings is also given. Even if this author, as well as the group of editors of El Censor newspaper, has been the object of general criticism owing to his alleged ideological inconsistency, this article points out not only the political coherence of Alberto Lista y Aragon but also the leading role played by this author in the definition of Spanish "moderantismo". Adapted from the source document.

The author discusses the Zedillo administration proposal for modernizing public administration. Was this proposal in effect novel & was it as important as it was made out to be? Was it boxed in by formal aspects, as similar programs in the past had been? The author points to the fact that modernization in this area was a commitment that became formalized in a program -- Promap -- & she discusses the two main issues that it addressed: the evaluation of public administration & career bureaucrats/civil service. The author compares the program's goals with its achievements & concludes that it was more successful in other aspects, not as important as these two. Adapted from the source document.

In the present paper, the author explores the hypothesis of a political antidemocratic use of former Mexican president Vicente Fox's government's social programs against poverty to favor candidate Felipe Calderon in the electoral competition for the Mexican presidency in July 2006. Through the application of a rigorous methodology, the author analyzes the distribution of the vote in those areas of the country that most benefited from the federal programs against poverty, such as the Local Development Program "Micro-regions," the Program of Human Development "Opportunities," Rural Homing, Temporal Jobs & Elderly Care in Rural Areas. The author reaches a striking conclusion: there is no evidence of the political use of these social programs to benefit Calderon & damage Lopez Obrador. Adapted from the source document.

The author examines how the concept raison d'etat was conceived & shaped. Although this concept is tied up to Machiavelli's thoughts, the author shows that the florentinian thinker did not coin it such as we know & use it nowadays, & paradoxically was one of its contestants, Giovanni Botero, the first one to use this concept in an explicit manner & to analyze it in a systematic way. The essay examines critically Botero's work, an author who was formerly considered as a second line political thinker, although he has provided interesting approaches on topics such as power, governorship & religion. To conclude, the concept raison d'etat was born in the cradle layed by the historical dialectics & confrontation between Machiavelli & his impugnants. Adapted from the source document.
