TELLEZ VALENCIA, Carlos. The Construction of the Technocracy in León and Its Unfinished Project of Social Participation. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.138, pp.209-243. ISSN 2448-7554.

This paper explores the process of the construction of the technocracy in the government of the city of León (state of Guanajuato, central Mexico), and the instruments and links established with local citizens to encourage them to participate in distinct tasks of public administration. In addition, the intention is to enrich our understanding of public administration at the municipal level in Mexico, and of the contributions that local non-governmental actors can make to public administration.
