Decentralization, Democratization, and Informal Power in Mexico

About the author

Andrew Selee is Director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC.

Summary

Explores the democratization and decentralization of governance in Mexico and finds that informal political networks continue to mediate citizens’ relationships with their elected authorities. Analyzes the linkages between informal and formal power by comparing how they worked in three Mexican cities: Tijuana, Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, and Chilpancingo.
