DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the success of Mexico’s contemporary elect
 oral left. It outlines crucial aspects of its historical trajectory\, focu
 sing on its understanding of corruption as a structural feature of a neoli
 beral political economy. It sketches\, as well\, the budding features of 
 ‘actually existing’ post-neoliberalism in the country\, tracing the em
 ergence of a new social pact premised on a re-legitimization of the state 
 as a social actor\, and the reinstatement of class cleavage as a primary o
 rganizer of the political field – a political project carried out within
  the enduring structural constraints inherited from decades of neoliberali
 sm: a disarticulated working class and a hollowed state apparatus.\n \n\nE
 dwin F. Ackerman is Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of Under
 graduate Studies at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs a
 t Syracuse University. He uses comparative-historical methods to understan
 d how political identities are formed\, articulated\, and become operative
 . He has studied this process in three contexts: the historical trajectory
  of debates over ‘illegal’ immigration in the U.S.\, the relationship 
 between political economy and political party formation in Latin America\,
  and the rise of transnational grass-roots right-wing mobilization against
  “gender ideology” in Latin America and the U.S. He is the author of O
 rigins of the Mass Party: Dispossession and the Party-Form in Mexico and B
 olivia (Oxford Press)\, and his work has been published in multiple journa
 ls\, and has been featured on Democracy Now!\, Jacobin\, and National Publ
 ic Radio (NPR)\, among other media outlets. Edwin is a former American Soc
 iological Association MFP Fellow and Ford Fellow and was a Global History 
 Fellow at Harvard’s Weatherhead Center (2018-19). He received a Ph.D. in
