    La judiciarisation des relations intergouvernementales au Mexique depuis 1994
    in Politique et sociétés, revue de la Société québécoise de science politique , Volume 30, numéro 2 ,  2011 ,  9-41
    Marked by the electoral defeat of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in 2000, the transition of the political regime in Mexico has contributed to the diversification of the political-electoral geography. Among other consequences, this political plurality has revealed several intergovernmental conflicts previously concealed by the hegemony of the PRI. In this context, this article proposes a review of the procedure for controlling constitutionality (constitutional controversy), reformed in 1994 to evaluate the growing intervention of the Supreme Court in resolving conflicts between government units and levels. More specifically, the aim is to identify the procedures proposed by the municipalities and locate the domains involved as well as the trends in resolutions concerning municipal authorities. This review will make it possible to identify the fields of intervention of the municipalities and means of action (laws, regulations, decrees and budgets) for which intergovernmental relations are fairly controversial.
