Abstract

In this study we analyze whether social policy in Jalisco leans towards assistance or development, and if the actions for development promote Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). The study hypothesis is that social policy in Jalisco can be democratized by improving the CSO’s participation to solve public problems. We discuss the importance of civil society towards the democratization of the State’s activities, and we make a historical review to learn about the trends of social policy assistance and development in Jalisco. Also, we analyze the State’s social policy qualities, including institutions, programs and the legal and fiscal framework to promote CSOs. Our conclusions present Chihuahua’s social co-responsibility model as an example of intersectoral cooperation for development.
