SANCHEZ-BERNAL, Antonio e GARCIA-BATIZ, María Luisa. The economic performance of the Mexican municipal governments in the processes of development at local scale. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.33, pp.355-412. ISSN 2448-6183.
Several analytical perspectives on decentralization state that local governments are leading actors and, in the new context of globalization, democratization and dismantling of the Nation-State, are suitable to coordinate processes of local economic development; in Mexico a number of valuable researches on decentralization have been carried out, based on study cases, in order to show how some municipal governments instrumented innovations so as to improve their management abilities. Nevertheless, these studies dot not allow learning the national tendency, and neither do they make comparisons along time; privileging thus the analysis of the economic dimension. The present work offers elements to conclude that the Mexican municipal governments do not have the necessary conditions to promote processes of local economic development.
