El presente ensayo busca dar una explicacin alternativa al uso de la violencia en la cultura poltica mexicana. Parte de Almind y Verba y considera que, por la estabilidad y durabilidad relativas del sistema poltico mexicano, la probalidad de arraigo para la continuidad de de los rasgos culturales es muy alta. La cultura poltica as creda opera en dos circuitos paralelos y funcionales que puedes ser descritos a partir de la metfora del softball y el hardball. El softball se basa en la cooperacin aparente y opera en el sistema poltico nacional. El hardball es sinnimo de juego sucio y tiende a caracterizar la poltica local. Los asesinatos polticos de 1944 reintroducen las reglas del hardball en las lites polticas nacionales y tienden a borrar los lmites entre los dos circuitos de la cultura poltica nacional.
This article seeks to give an alternative explanation of teh use of violence in Mexican political culture. The work is based on workby Almond and Verba and considers that, because of the relative stability and durability of the mexican system, the probability of this political culture continuing is quite high. The political culture as it has developped operates in two parallel and functional worldsthat can be described using the metaphor "softball" and "hardball". "Softball" refers to the apparent cooperation wich operates within the national political system. The "hardball" is synonymus with dirty politics blows and tends to characterize local politics. The political assassinations of 1994 reintroduced the rules of "hardball" at the national elite level and tend to erase the limits between two worlds of political cultures.
