Gender parity and socioeconomic representation in subnational legislatures in Mexico: more equitable congresses?

Fernando Patron Katya Rodríguez Gómez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The article analyzes if gender parity in subnational legislatures in México has produced a more equitable social representation. It explores the plurality of gender parity in terms of socioeconomic differences, and female and male representation. Using data from Censo de Poderes legislativos Estatales 2020, the article classifies subnational legislators by socioeconomic levels and compared with CONEVAL’s methodology of social stratification in Mexico. The tested hypothesis is that gender parity has not produced a favorable impact on a more equitable political representation in socioeconomic terms so far. Female and male political representation continues to be dominated by upper socioeconomic levels.

Ana Laura Bojórquez Carrillo Monserrat Vargas Jiménez Mireya Noemi Hernández Islas (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Food insecurity is a complex problem worldwide. A major part of this problem is the food supply. Local markets can represent a strategy for building social capital, as well as strategies for subsistence and sustainability of food value chains, contributing to food security and its effects. The objective of this research is to determine if the existence of a municipal market in the Milpera and Puuc regions of Yucatán favors the existence of food security, the consumption or the expense of natural foods. The population is located in 18 municipalities of Yucatán, Mexico. To carry out this study, a cross-sectional, non-experimental study, with a quantitative approach and correlational scope. The main techniques that were applied were descriptive statistics and contingency tables with respect to 6 hypotheses. This work shows that the existence of markets in the communities makes a significant difference because it positively impacts the food security of the inhabitants, since it allows them to have access to a wider variety of products and at the same time, favors the active dynamics of the economy of the community.

Lucha electoral y organización campesina en Ziracuaretiro, Mich. : un estudio sobre relaciones sociales y democracia interna

Gabriela Cervera Arce (1998, [Tesis de maestría])

La monografía está dividida en cuatro partes. La primera ofrece una caracterización socioeconómica del municipio de Ziracuaretiro. El tema de las raíces y el desarrollo del movimiento político de 1989 es tratado en la segunda parte: la luchas locales de corte agrario (las cuales identificamos como el antecedente de la conformación del movimiento político de mediados de los años 80); la afiliación de miembros de los ejidos y la comunidad indígena del municipio a la Corriente Democrática del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) (luego Frente Democrático Nacional (FDN) y posteriormente PRD) en las elecciones de 1988; la inclusión en este movimiento de grupos sociales no campesinos; la decisión del movimiento y, finalmente la participación política mediante la vía electoral y la formación de organizaciones de apoyo político y económico a la producción agropecuaria. En la tercera parte relatamos la participación que campesinos protagonistas del movimiento social han tenido en organizaciones de productores. También reflexionamos sobre el enlace de tal participación. La reflexión sobre la literatura relevante está incorporada en la descripción y el análisis presentados en las partes segunda y tercera punto en la cuarta y última parte presentamos una breve recapitulación y formulamos las conclusiones que nos parecieron más relevantes
