Juarez Civil Society Responce to Political Chavenges

Abstract

This essay addresses a panoramic perspective that recognizes both, the advances and challenges of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), as well as the obstacles to reach effective forms of collective action in order to find solutions to the social problems they face. CSOs constitute the sum of all forms of collective, organized, and permanent citizen participation in the form of associations, fronts of organizations, and/or social movements. Such organizations serve as advocates to the state on matters of civil, political, social, and cultural rights. We focus on the response capacity of CSOs based on its impact and incidence on the evolution of the main central issues of the public agenda.
