This in-depth study of local government in Mexico raises issues which go far beyond the territory it covers. It will be of absorbing interest to all students of local democracy and participatory methods, not only in Latin America, but in Western and Eastern Europe, the USA, Africa, Asia, and elsewhere, where initiatives and experimentation are driven by socio-economic change.
Everywhere citizen participation has become an important part of the democratisation debate, and this is certainly true of Mexico. This book presents a revealing insight of the wide range of participatory mechanisms, including plebiscies, referenda and neighbiourhood committees, which have been introduced by different political parties at the local level in Mexico.
