  Mexico - Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)
The PRI was founded by Calles in 1929 as the National Revolutionary Party (Partido Nacional Revolucionario--PNR), a loose confederation of local political bosses and military strongmen grouped together with labor unions, peasant organizations, and regional political parties.
In its early years, it served primarily as a means of organizing and containing the political competition among the leaders of the various revolutionary factions.
The results of the 1988 elections were widely viewed as marking the end of single-party hegemony by the PRI and were even interpreted by some observers as a prelude to the fragmentation and collapse of the ruling coalition.

 Mexican Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Mexican Revolution was a violent social and cultural movement, colored by socialist, nationalist, and anarchist tendencies, that began with the popular rejection of dictator Porfirio Díaz Mori in 1910 and continued through the promulgation of a new constitution seven years later.
Violence continued until the late 1920s, ending only when the Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional, PRI) sealed its monopoly on political power in and after 1928.
Calles also started the PRI (initially known as the National Revolutionary Party — Partido Revolucionario Nacional, PRN), which would hold the presidency for the next seventy years.
