Le rôle des acteurs de la société civile dans le déploiement des projets économiques et politiques alternatifs : l’expérience mexicaine de la 4T by Max-Amaury Bertoli, Solène Morvant-Roux, Ilán Bizberg

“…Indeed, the imposition of republican austerity, the operational centralisation of the public apparatus and the negation of civil society organisations, on which the new government is based, all justified by the struggle against corruption, greatly reduce its transformative scope. Starting from a socioeconomic approach articulating different scales of analysis, this article offers a critical look at the principle features of this political project through the study of one of its flagship public program: Sembrando Vida. …”
