description This article analyzes the presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto in the broader context of the transformations undergone by Mexican presidentialism as the result of the opening up of the political system and the growing plurality, particularly since the 1990s. The central hypothesis is that the process of dismantling the authoritarian state and structural reforms took away powers from the Office of the President to intervene in politics and the economy. The principal consequence of these changes was the weakening of the Executive power, the growing influence of private interests and a shift towards a focus on the personality of the president.These tendencies were expressed in a particular manner during Peña Nieto’s term in office, revealing the Executive’s lack of strength. This article examines in detail the process and the dynamics that led to this reconfiguration of the Mexican presidency, and highlights the resulting effects during the 2012-2018 administration, particularly with regard to the difficulty of containing criminal violence and corruption, as well as the personalization of the position of president.

El presente artículo analiza la presidencia de Enrique Peña Nieto en el contexto más general de las transformaciones experimentadas por el presidencialismo mexicano como resultado de la apertura del sistema político y la creciente pluralidad observada, particularmente, desde la década de 1990. La hipótesis central es que el proceso de desmantelamiento del Estado autoritario y las reformas estructurales, despojaron a la presidencia de la República de instrumentos para intervenir en la política y en la economía. La principal consecuencia de estos cambios fue el debilitamiento del poder Ejecutivo, la creciente influencia de los intereses particulares y el impulso a la personalización de la presidencia.Estas tendencias tuvieron una expresión particular durante los años de Peña Nieto en el poder, en los cuales se hizo evidente la falta de fortaleza del Ejecutivo. El trabajo examina en detalle el proceso y las dinámicas que llevaron a esta reconfiguración de la presidencia mexicana, y se concentra en destacar el efecto que durante el sexenio 2012-2018 esto generó en cuanto a la dificultad para contener a la violencia criminal y la corrupción, así como respecto de la importancia central adquirida por la personalización del puesto.
