Political reform has been one of the principal influences on Latin American political development in recent decades, particularly since the beginning of the Third Democratic Wave in the region. This is reflected not only by the great number of reforms that have taken place in most Latin American countries, but also by the constant debate and reflection dedicated to this issue.

This publication aims to analyse the reform processes that have been administered in Mexico and Colombia over the past few years. Despite having different origins, development and results, both experiences illustrate the difficulties and challenges implied in political reform. Furthermore, both experiences demonstrate the importance of context in forging these initiatives, as well as the fundamental role of political and social actors in achieving the necessary consensus and political commitment to move forward.
