En México, en las últimas décadas el poder ciudadano se ha hecho presente a través de acciones colectivas y movimientos que han propiciado el mejoramiento de la función de las instituciones públicas, a manera de ejemplo, se encuentran materias como transparencia, rendición de cuentas, acceso a la información y mecanismos anticorrupción. En el siguiente trabajo, se realiza un análisis del avance democrático, la importancia de la transparencia como un elemento esencial para la democracia y la necesidad de que el ciudadano sea un sujeto activo, que ejerza su derecho humano de acceso a la información, exija rendición de cuentas y se involucre a las decisiones de gobierno, frente al Estado democrático.

This book explores the traces of the passage of time on the protracted and intractable conflict of Western Sahara. The authors offer a multilevel analysis of recent developments from the global to the local scenes, including the collapse of the architecture of the UN-led conflict resolution process, the advent of the War on Terror to the the Sahara-Sahel area and the impact of the 'Arab Spring' and growing regional security instability. Special attention is devoted to changes in the Western Sahara territory annexed by Morocco and the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria. Morocco has adapted its governance and public policies to profound socio-demographic transformations in the territory under its control and has attempted to obtain international recognition for this annexation by proposing an Autonomy Plan. The Polisario Front and Sahrawi nationalists have shifted their strategy and pushed the centre of gravity of the conflict back inwards by focusing on pro-independence activism inside the disputed territory

«España se retiró del Sahara Occidental en 1976 sin haber cumplido con la obligación de descolonizar completamente el territorio. Cuarenta años después la cuestión sigue pendiente. Marruecos sigue ocupando el territorio, sin ningún reconocimiento internacional. El Frente Polisario ha creado un Estado saharaui en el exilio y exige el referéndum de autodeterminación que se prometió ante la ONU. La comunidad internacional promueve un acuerdo político satisfactorio para ambos pero, a pesar de las intenciones de paz, la mitad del pueblo saharaui sigue viviendo en campos de refugiados construidos en mitad del desierto. Este libro ofrece una panorámica completa que permite comprender en profundidad la situación actual del Sahara Occidental. « (Verlagsbeschreibung)
