摘要:En los últimos 15 años las tendencias de inestabilidad social y política en la metrópoli de México en materia de seguridad pública, se localizan, principalmente, en la aparente falta de viabilidad política de la coordinación intergubernamental. Igualmente, se caracterizan por un desfase institucional frente al crecimiento de la violencia urbana, además de la “sofisticación” de las acciones del crimen organizado. Esta perspectiva contradice un conjunto de acciones “localistas”, que han sido implementadas por los sucesivos gobiernos de la ciudad. A partir del análisis de tendencias recientes de la inseguridad en la metrópoli, desde una perspectiva crítica de la historia de las acciones institucionales en la materia y, a partir de dos estudios de caso, buscamos definir la gobernabilidad metropolitana en la Ciudad de México a través del prisma de la seguridad pública. Concluimos que este campo, el cual tiene un indudable peso en la opinión pública, constituye un excelente laboratorio de legitimación política y, por ende, en las perspectivas de futuro de la metrópoli de México.
其他摘要:The trend towards social and political instability in Mexico City over the past 15 years, particularly in terms of public insecurity, can be attributed to what we identify as a lack of political feasibility in the coordination between government agencies at local and state levels. At the same time, these tendencies are characterized by institutions failing to keep up with an increment in urban violence, as well as with the increasingly sophisticated techniques used by organized crime. It would seem that localized policies promoted by the governments of metropolitan Mexico City are misguided in their efforts to combat crime.An analysis of recent trends of insecurity in Mexico City is conducted with a critical appraisal of the history of institutional policies implemented to counter those trends. Two case studies within the metropolitan area of Mexico City are examined, in an attempt to evaluate the role of government agencies and explore the significance of metropolitan governance. Conclusions highlight that public security policy is a fertile ground to improve on the quality of life of metropolitan dwellers, considering the relevance of the “insecurity problem” in public opinion. Furthermore, we argue, it is a means for local governments to achieve the elusive political legitimacy they need.
