El liderazgo de Andrés Manuel López Obrador

De la derrota electoral a gobernar la victoria

Abstract

This paper analyzes the political leadership of Andrés Manuel López Obrador during two moments: the first, as a leader developed in the electoral struggle in his search for the Presidency of the Republic, and the second, as a successful leader who begins to give guidelines about how he will lead the federal government after his overwhelming triumph in the elections of 2018. This paper also discusses the construction of López Obrador’s leadership that allowed him to generate a movement profitable electoral that led him to become president of Mexico. In this context, the possible effects of the triumph of Morena and her founding leader are also examined: the rearrangements in the party system with the defeat of the three dominant organizations during the last decades, as well as the new proposal of the president’s relationship with the Congress, the governors and their own party.
