Title The Impact of Judicial Decisions in Mexico. The cases of Same-Sex Marriage and Cannabis Legalization
Summary This thesis has as an objective to analyze what kind of effects judicial decisions produce on the Mexican Political System. A judicial decision can generate four kind of impacts: direct, institutional, collective action and symbolic effects. The author demonstrates that for the case of Cannabis Legalization and Same-Sex Marriage, judicial decisions in Mexico are only able to produce symbolic and some direct impacts but not achieved to create specific policies to solve the problems of litigants. This is due to the fact that some constraints reduce the influence of court orders in a political system.
