Description: | Starting from the idea that electoral systems represent the conjunction between the theoretical principles of democracy and its materialization in political representation, this article proposes an analysis framework to assess the level of representativeness in a subnational legislative congress in Mexico from : 1) the notion of representation on which it is based on the Mexican electoral system, 2) the same notion on the representative, and 3) the crisis of representativeness suffered by the deputies. A characterization of the Mexican national and subnational electoral system is offered, with a predominance of the descriptive representation in territorial terms, and the cases of eight federative entities with different amount of population represented are shown. It is concluded that although the Mexican electoral system is based on a totally territorial notion, local deputies do not consider it as the main element to ensure a better representation. Partiendo de la idea de que los sistemas electorales representan la conjunción entre los principios teóricos de la democracia y su materialización en la representación política, este artículo propone un marco de análisis para valorar el nivel de representatividad en un recinto legislativo subnacional en México a partir de: 1) la noción de representación en la que está basado en sistema electoral mexicano, 2) la misma noción en el representante y 3) la crisis de representatividad que padecen los diputados. Se presenta una caracterización del sistema electoral mexicano, tanto nacional como subnacional, con predominancia de la representación descriptiva en términos territoriales, y se muestran los casos de ocho entidades federativas con distinta cantidad de población representada. Se concluye que a pesar de que el sistema electoral mexicano está basado en una noción totalmente territorial, los diputados locales no la consideran como elemento principal para asegurar una mejor representación. |
