Findings and Inferences of Public Policy Networks: Case Study of the Structure and Functioning of the Magical Town Program in Valle de Bravo, Mexico
Keywords:
Governance, Public Policy, Networking Analysis, Case Analysis, Mexico.Abstract
This article analyses the determinants that influence that public policy networks, as constructs for collective action, act as mechanisms to promote successful joint action between government and non-governmental actors. In this term, the implementation of the Magic Villages Program in Valle de Bravo is systematized as a public policy network, considering two dimensions; on one hand, structural attributes (or network structure) as independent variables; and on the other, effectiveness, efficiency and innovation as dependent variables.
