Mexican Local Governance in Transition
本文分析了墨西哥地方政府在民主化进程中的创新与障碍，包括市长领导风格、公民参与和公共管理系统的变化，以及从威权向有限民主转型中的悖论。
Important innovations have recently democratized local government in Mexico and improved its performance. These include changes in mayors’ leadership style, broader citizen participation, and improved intergovernmental relations and public management systems. But these changes have not come easily. This article analyzes obstacles to institutionalizing changes, presents the negative effects of some new public management-based reforms, and analyzes the paradoxes that accompany this transition from autocracy to the current “limited democratization.”
