This chapter analyzes the decline of social movements in Mexico during the neoliberal period (1982–2018) and its consequences for the organization of subaltern groups. It explores how successive governments, while promoting economic liberalization, actively dismantled labor, peasant, and urban popular organizations that had historically challenged state power. In their place, they fostered a depoliticized notion of “organized civil society” that blurred class identities and weakened collective actors. Drawing on historical and policy analysis, the chapter examines key cases—including the dismantling of independent unions, the effects of PRONASOL, and the rise of employer-centered reforms—to show how power redistribution favored elites and deepened inequality. The author argues that democratization alone has not reversed this erosion and calls for renewed support for the autonomous organization of workers, peasants, and marginalized groups as a precondition for sustainable redistribution, democratic deepening, and inclusive public policymaking in Mexico.
