Deconstructing Corruption through Its Aporias
The dominant discourse of corruption (the idea that corruption is cancer, a social disease) has legitimized a particular and simplified overview of a rather intricate phenomenon. Thus, the strategies and instruments to deal with the disease have been a priority of several international organizations, creating a real anti-corruption industry with its own priorities, prognosis, and language. The instruments and policies created through this industr…
How does a populist government interpret and face a health crisis? Evidence from the Mexican populist response to Covid-19
In 2020, governments were faced with addressing the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, without certainty about what would work best to reduce the health crisis without ruining the economy. Through all the uncertainty, national governments based their responses to COVID-19 on beliefs and political ideas, which was reflected on the diversity of the responses: liberal, authoritarian, centralized, decentralized, transparent, or opaque. In…

Responding to the populist attack on public administration
The current wave of populism, either from the left or the right, has a particularly strong and negative view of public administration, both seen as body of knowledge and as a governmental apparatus. In short, populist defend that public administration has become actually a defendant of the elites, a technocracy serving elitist interests. Public administration uses its technocratic jargon to hide from its only and simple responsibility: to resolve…

Legitimidad y transparencia de las organizaciones de la sociedad civil en México. ¿Actores neutrales o interesados
A partir de una muestra aleatoria de doscientas Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC) en México, se analiza la transparencia con que dichas organizaciones reportan sus fuentes de financiamiento y sus reglas básicas de funcionamiento, como la membresía. Los resultados apuntan a que la transparencia con que las OSC en México hacen explícitos los intereses de personas u organizaciones que representan o las financian es muy baja. El artículo argu…
Las ciencias sociales y la investigación desde el Cide

Nació con un doble propósito. Por un lado, constituirse como un centro de pensamiento para el Estado mexicano; por otro, tener una vocación académica, científica y crítica, con una agenda de inves…
Corruption in Latin America
In Corruption in Latin America the reader is presented with an alternative starting point for understanding corruption in this key region. The author asserts that corruption is a stable and rational social and organizational mechanism. Seen through this lens, we can begin to understand why it persists, and how to implement strategies to control corruption effectively. Beginning with an in-depth, nuanced examination of the concept of corruption, t…
Government Corruption
When a country suffers from systemic corruption, several practices and routines are created in public and private organizations to normalize the processes that stabilize and reproduce the conditions for repetitive corrupt behavior. Through a survey on private companies in a major Mexican city and a set of interviews with two companies, this article shows how these organizations create the internal conditions for meeting the demand for a bribe on …
Corrupción ¿calle de una sola vía? La internalización del soborno en empresas en México
En un país que sufre de corrupción sistémica, la interacción entre empresas y servidores públicos suele estar permeada por diversos actos que pueden ir desde el soborno a la captura del Estado por actores privados poderosos. Es decir, la corrupción es una calle de doble vía donde gobierno y empresas se refuerzan mutuamente, incluso a través de acuerdos y negociaciones. Por medio de una encuesta a empresas privadas en una ciudad mexicana y luego d…
Understanding the Trap of Systemic Corruption
El concepto de equidades y sus contradicciones
El concepto de equidad genera de-sacuerdos entre analistas de diversas disciplinas y corrientes. Para el diseño, la implementación yla evaluación de políticas públicas, es indispensable hacerlo operable. En este texto se propone hablar de equidades y se presenta una aplicación empírica de esta idea a programas sociales en México. Diferentes programas buscan distintos conceptos de equidad, con lo que se generan objetivos confusos y contradicciones…
Burocracia profesional individualista o espíritu de cuerpo? Las contradicciones del servicio civil mexicano
A partir de los resultados de la primera encuesta a servidores públicos certificados de carrera de la administración pública federal, en este documento se busca comprender si un espíritu de cuerpo está comenzando a surgir en la burocracia de este nivel en México. El servicio civil federal es una joven institución política que nace en 2003 -poco después de la derrota electoral (2000) del largamente dominante Partido Revolucionario Institucional (P…
The Evaluation of Performance in the Mexican Federal Government
An initial assessment of the Mexican government’s implementation of the Model for the Performance Evaluation of Internal Control Organizations (MIDO) can reveal its actual influence on the organizational culture of those agencies. MIDO began in 2003 as an instrument to transform all federal monitoring agencies into effective, performance‐driven organizations. It seeks to modify the behavior of internal control organizations in order to shift thei…
Economic-NPM and the Need to Bring Justice and Equity Back to the Debate on Public Organizations
The debate on New Public Management (NPM) has largely neglected the discussion of justice and equality. Fortunately enough, there is now a long list of articles that provide empirical analyses of the consequences of NPM in a variety of settings. Despite these analyses, the organizational, moral, administrative, and ethical repercussions of NPM are enormous and require further careful attention. This article attempts to link a specific version of …

La burocracia mexicana como actor
Empíricamente, el actor burocrático ha sido poco estudiado en México. A la luz del dominio de un partido, en la era contemporánea este actor, en la escala federal, fue considerado básicamente un apéndice, una maquinaria obediente al régimen. La teoría de las camarillas ha perdurado desde entonces. Sin embargo, esta teoría es poco sostenible considerando lo que ha sucedido políticamente en los últimos años. Los servidores públicos que no pertenece…
Challenges for the New Public Management
In developed countries, new public management (NPM) is typically used to improve existing institutions democratically where the bureaucracy is already controlled through agencies and institutions. However, in Mexico, it is being used as a top-down reform strategy where solid institutional frameworks, rule of law, checks and balances, civil service system, and accountability systems are all absent or ineffective. In the absence of robust instituti…
