| Summary: |
In posrevolutionary Mexico, the practice by local congresses of their
right to initiate federal legislation is very recent: it menly started dur- ing the LVI Legislature of the Federal Congress (1994-1997) and although
with wide differences among local congresses, it shows an
upward tendency. However, there are few efforts to understand the
exercise of this right and the changes on its practice, and there are no
academic studies which analyze the factors that influence the inclination
of local congresses to initiate projects of legislation before the
federal Legislative branch of government. This document offers some
data and proposes several topics of analysis that may enhance our
understanding about the role played by local congresses in federal
legislation, as well as the political and parliamentary constraints that
influence their decision to initiate federal laws, and the success they
get in attracting attention from federal legislators. |
