Abstract

While the level of Mexican military professionalism and adoption of an internal mission suggest the probability of intervention, stability and civilian domination of the polity have been the norm for over 50 years. The findings of this study suggest two reasons for this condition. First, the core values held by the Mexican military link civilian political institutions with the nation and the Revolution. Second, while the level of military professionalism is high, it is perceived as being below the level of civilian professionalism. The result is a relatively low level of military political efficacy, which diminishes military interest and confidence in political participation. The study also suggests that the influence of military education/professionalization is only one of several forces that lead to overt entry of the military into the polity.
