The book examines the intricate relationship between informal and formal power structures in the context of decentralization in Mexico during the late twentieth century. It highlights how the shift of governmental responsibilities to local levels, while promoting democratization, has been complicated by lingering informal power dynamics. Through a comparative analysis of three cities, the author reveals how these historical influences shape citizen engagement and affect the accountability of elected officials, ultimately impacting the success of multi-party democracy.
