Economía y política en América Latina, actores y procesos en el contexto actual
El libro que usted tiene en sus manos recoge algunos de los grandes temas de la agenda latinoamericana actual, con especial énfasis en el campo del desarrollo económico y la promoción y consolidación de los regímenes democráticos. Se reconoce aquí que el bienestar de los países de la región va de la mano de un papel propositivo y activo de sus gobiernos, y que esta actitud proactiva atraviesa necesariamente por el aprovechamiento de acuerdos de cooperación entre tales países. Se reconoce asimismo que la eficacia de las políticas activas que debieran emprenderse en la región pueden optimizarse si se instrumentan en un entorno macroeconómico estable y sólido, caracterizado por equilibrios razonables en el plano fiscal y con baja inflación, así como en una atmósfera política y social de concordia y con una vida democrática consolidada.

Gobernanza metropolitana y federalismo en México
Al concluir recientemente la firma de un acuerdo para solucionar las afectaciones derivadas de las obras que se vienen realizando por la construcción de la Línea 3 del Tren Ligero, así como la realización de los partidos de beisbol y otros eventos en el estadio de Los Charros de Jalisco, en el que participaron las autoridades municipales de Zapopan, Jalisco y algunos representantes de vecinos pertenecientes al Colectivo Colonias Unidas; el presidente municipal de Zapopan, Pablo Lemus Navarro, calificó este hecho como “un nuevo modelo de gobernanza digno de ser imitado” (Rello, 15 de septiembre de 2016). En este contexto, la misma autoridad municipal enfatizó que los alcances de los acuerdos pactados con los vecinos organizados quedaron circunscritos a la “competencia municipal (por ejemplo, incrementar la seguridad en torno al estadio de beisbol) y se cumplirán, pero en los temas de competencia federal-estatal (como es el caso del diseño de la Macroplaza o la fecha de terminación de obras), sólo prometió encabezar la gestión” (Rello, 15 de septiembre de 2016).
Decentralizing Revenue in Latin America
This book analyzes the reasons for lackluster performance selected Latin American countries in mobilizing subnational own-source revenues and explores policy options to increase these revenues as efficiently and equitably as possible. Seven case studies--Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela--span a wide range of characteristics, including federal and unitary countries, different geographical sizes, levels of economic development, and degrees of revenue decentralization. In this book, subnational governments include both intermediate and local levels of government, which are distinguished in the case studies. Together, the case studies provide a reasonably representative picture of the challenges faced throughout Latin America in mobilizing subnational own-source revenues in a manner that supports equitable growth.
