%X One of the lesser-acknowledged conclusions from analyses of the third wave of democratization relates to the importance of conservatives to democratic consolidation. Yet we know very little about the way that such interests are incorporated into the formal, institutional arena of parties and elections 每 especially as relates to business interests. This is true in spite of a clear, cross-regional rise in the presence of entrepreneurs themselves in politics. This article generates and evaluates a set of expectations for the political behavior of business interests. I focus my empirical attention on Mexico, where such interests are historically speaking very well organized internally, and analyze the incorporation of business-association members into the parliamentary delegation of Mexico＊s three major political parties. I conclude by considering where we might look for the political mobilization of business interests in the interest of establishing a research agenda for the future. Una de las conclusiones principales de los an芍lisis de la ※tercera ola de democratizaci車n§ es la importancia de los intereses conservadores para los procesos de consolidaci車n democr芍tica. Pero poco se sabe de la manera en que aquellos intereses se incorporan a la pol赤tica institucional de partidos y elec-ciones, particularmente en el caso de intereses empresariales 每 a pesar de un incremento internacional en la presencia pol赤tica de la clase empresarial. Este art赤culo desarrolla y eval迆a unas expectativas para el comportamiento pol赤tico de los intereses empresariales. Se enfoca en el contexto mexicano, donde tales intereses son bien organizados hist車ricamente. Se analiza la incorporaci車n de los miembros de asociaciones empresariales en las bancadas legislativas de los tres partidos principales. Se concluye con una reflexi車n sobre una l赤nea de investigaci車n de la movilizaci車n pol赤tica de estos intereses conservadores.
