Entre la esperanza y la desconfianza: la participación en la Cruzada Nacional contra el Hambre

Abstract

In Mexico, during the six-year period 2012-2018, the main social policy was implemented through the National Crusade against Hunger (CNcH), where social participation was considered the central way to promote community development. It was intended that this, through community committees, would strengthen and ensure the active and constant involvement of citizens; however, this did not necessarily happen. The main objective of this study is therefore to determine what encourages or limits people's participation in the social policy; studying the community committees set up to implement the CNcH, and taking as a case study its application in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.
