- Bolivia is a country that has advanced substantially regarding women’s representation in politics. In fact, at a global level, Bolivia rivals Rwanda at both the national and local representation levels. This is particularly true at the local level where several women from all social conditions and ethnicity groups have become the majority of municipal councillors, even though women mayors are still a rarity. However, parity in figures does not mean parity in reality. Many of these women councillors face hard realities impregnated with discrimination and harassment of all sorts. Moreover, some mechanisms—like the rotation principle designed to increase participation and democracy—have been turned against many of these women councillors. Based on a field work using interviews and participant observation as well as findings of previous relevant works, this article discusses these problems and offers an analysis as to the causes of such a situation where parity in figures is not reflected in shared power and equal respect in the daily realities at the local level.

- Mexico has finally left behind the era of the one party-system to start its career on a multi-party track where stability may be sacrificed to the legitimacy provided by democratic elections. To a great extent this transformation is the fruit of general dissatisfaction with the official party. The first expressions of this unrest were seen in the 1980s with the awakening of civil society in Mexico. And, in this awakening, women’s participation has been particularly relevant. It is mostly women who participated in the new urban movements of the 1990s. Through their work in all kinds of organizations, from the housing activists to the feminists and even the armed movements, women are playing a new role that implies a serious transformation in the political culture and gender relationships. Furthermore, women’s demands have given the Zapatista movement one of its main features in comparison with other Indian or guerrilla movements in Mexico or Latin America. Even women who do not participate in political action share somehow the awareness of certain problems, of the need to change, to democratize and to transform gender relations. In our research we have looked at what notions these women – participants and non-participants – have of con- cepts such as citizenship and democracy. Are participant women trying to enter the system or are they aiming to change it? Have non-participant women similar notions to the participants in respect of gender issues and the need for a new political culture? In this paper I argue that both participants and non-participants share the view of an authoritarian system that needs to be changed. They also agree on the importance of participation in order to realize these changes, in order to achieve citizenship – understood as rights and obligations towards the community and as an awareness of, and responsibility for, public affairs. And they agree on the qualities women may need to contribute to transform this system. This paper is a presentation of some of the partial results of our research into women’s urban and rural movements and citizenship in Mexico. It is also a continuation of the articles already published, or in process of being published, within the framework of the project (Domínguez and Castro, 1998, Domínguez, 1998). Taking as the point of departure some theoretical reflections on the concepts of gender and citizenship, and the most recent and relevant events as to the political participation of women in Mexico, I will present some of the empirical material on urban women that I have been able to gather at the end of 1998, the beginning of 1999 and, most recently, in June-July 2000.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, I present some experiences of transnational networking among women workers, women's groups, and feminist organizations at both the transcontinental and transborder level in the FTAA and NAFTA areas. These transnational efforts are analyzed as forms of resistance to the encroachments of global capital. The record of these networks is both encouraging and problematic. Encouraging because certain issues have received greater attention from both the state and multinational companies, and Mexican organizations have received strategic support to empower themselves and even, in some cases, develop a feminist workers' perspective. The record is also problematic as cooperation is not always free from conflict, or asymmetric relations, among the organizations. Asymmetries often reflect unequal access to power and financial resources. In spite of this, it seems undeniable that transnational networks among women's organizations are modeling new forms of resistance to the processes of global restructuring.

- [Book:] El debate en torno de la gobernanza global aborda el futuro de la política en el contexto de la globalización. ¿Es todavía gobernable el mundo?; ¿cómo solucionar problemas mundiales engranando la política de los Estados nacionales con la gobernanza global?; ¿es factible dotar a la globalización de un rumbo social, ecológico y democrático, o la política tendrá que capitular ante las dinámicas intrínsecas de una economía globalizada?; ¿cómo afecta la globalización y el sistema emergente de gobernanza global a los países en vías de desarrollo?; ¿el concepto de soberanía nacional sigue siendo factible en la era de la globalización?; ¿qué implica el 11 de septiembre de 2001 para el futuro del orden mundial? La globalización afecta a todas las naciones, pero en años recientes la discusión sobre la gobernanza global se ha desarrollado sobre todo en el mundo de la OCDE. La intención de este libro es abrir en América Latina el debate sobre la gobernanza global. ¿Qué ideas sobre la política y la economía mundiales del siglo XXI, sobre las oportunidades y los riesgos de la gobernanza global se están debatiendo en esta región?; ¿existe una óptica específicamente latinoamericana sobre el porvenir de la gobernanza global en tanto respuesta a los desafíos de la globalización?; ¿qué papel puede jugar América Latina en el sistema de gobernanza global a comienzos del nuevo siglo?
