Desde que el Partido Acción Nacional triunfó en las elecciones para gobernador en el estado de Baja California en 1989 se inauguró en México la alternancia política en una gubernatura, con ello se rompió el mito de que era imposible para el PRI compartir el poder a ese nivel. Los escasos espacios ganados o cedidos por el mismo partido en el poder, sirvieron para que la oposición confrontara y criticara la centralización del poder y la neutralización de la representación, es decir, más que ofertar a sus electores discursos nacionalistas, los partidos de oposición abanderaron los resentimientos anticentralistas del norte del país en particular, y desacreditaron la relación viciada entre el legislativo y el ejecutivo tanto a nivel federal como estatal. De acuerdo con estas consideraciones, en este ensayo se exploran las posibilidades de fundar una nueva relación horizontal y vertical entre poderes en el estado de Baja California, gobernado por el Partido Acción Nacional en los últimos diez años.
