This essay examines the relationship between corruption and political stability, with particular emphasis on Mexico. Through careful analysis of public opinion surveys from 1997-1998, exploring the differential attitudes towards 'normal time corruption' and 'special time corruption' (e.g. in connection with disaster relief), the data highlights how attitudes to corruption are context-dependent. Natural disasters constitute 'special times' with a low level of acceptance of corruption, which sheds light on why societies that show at least grudging acceptance of 'everyday corruption' respond with unexpected negativity to 'post-disaster corruption'. Furthermore, the analysis illustrates how the poorer segments of the population, who have fewer interactions with government representatives, perceive a lower level of corruption. These findings thus begin to explain the political stability in Mexico, where the majority are poor, and therefore do not consider the system particularly corrupt and, as a consequence, illegitimate.
