Abstract

This article examines the political cto 'sequences of the most important single privatization in Mexico, that of the national telecommunications company, 'Mmes. Claims by diverse observers of Mexico that, as the government pursued a dramatic privatization programme as part of a broader plan to liberalise the economy during the late 1980's and 1990's, democratic growth would be encouraged, are challenged in this case. It is shown how privatization generated new resources that were channelled to lubricate corporatist relations and that the so-called "new unionism" emerging from the telephone workers' union did not represent a departure from, but a culmination of traditional state-labour relations in Mexico.
