OLIVOS CAMPOS, José René. Municipal governance in Mexico: scopes and challenges. Rev. IUS [online]. 2013, vol.7, n.32, pp.118-147. ISSN 1870-2147.

In Mexico, the municipal government has been limited to rule this century, despite powers conferred by Mexican Constitution since last century. It is not possible to establish an effective agenda that achieves development, growth and welfare of local society. In this research, we focus municipal governments in the framework of the federal constitutional system.
