| Summary: |
Although ambiguity is intrinsic to human life, the mainstream of accountability reduces its scope by not seriously considering ambiguity. Until now, accountability has not been treated with sufficient rigor because it is considered an exogenous process to politics, that is, as an understanding that is expressed in terms of mandated representation, as the studies of democratization have addressed it. mexican However, accountability should not be assumed as a predetermined fact, but rather as an event that could be led by the helm of civil agencies, in the scenario of new democratic institutions and instances of citizen participation. To empirically verify the performance of the governance of social control, here we evaluate the role of citizen comptrollers in the management of the first participatory budgets in four delegations of the Federal District (2011-2013). The institutional perspective is the key to understanding how the scaffolding of social norms and conventions, and the role of interpersonal trust, determine their dynamics of integration and functioning. The main findings suggest that there is no technique or a single and best way to ensure control and evaluation of the results of collaborative budget management; but in practice, the social control arm can follow divergent and even inconsistent paths and actions, which leads to rethinking its role and scope within the budgetary co-management scheme when it is put to the test in practice. Thus, social accountability is a process that escapes the efforts of deliberate institutional designs thought from top to bottom and should rather be studied from the analysis of the dynamics of social integration that are recreated in the political communities themselves, of which it is part. If we take this seriously, we would be able to provide meeting points with a research agenda that contributes to an effective Theory of the democratic Government |
