Urban Governance and Participation in Central Mexico

Valeria Guarneros-Meza

Top

Abstract

Valeria Guarneros-Meza looks at national aspects that characterize Mexico's democratization and decentralization processes, and their impact upon the central region of Mexico. Based on the region's social characteristics, she discusses the concept of 'urban governance' in terms of its ambiguity, which promotes municipal systems of participation at the same time as it fragments their internal organization.

Keywords:

democratization, decentralization, citizen councils, social movements
