Abstract:

The level of economic development of a country affects the power that it has in the international global economy and political system as well as its ability to manage internal social and political crises. These dynamics have become particularly visible with regard to the dual track of economic and political restructuring that developing countries in Latin America have undertaken since in the late 1980s. This paper seeks to take a unique perspective by giving voice to the everyday lives of individuals from Mexico in their struggle to obtain social and economic rights while the country struggles to maintain economic development. By focusing on the individual level of analysis, this study shows how women are challenging the concepts of national development, citizenship, and importantly leadership. I use data derived from in-depth interviews with leaders and members of non-governmental organizations from Monterrey, Mexico. Monterrey is Mexico's leading city in the world of global capitalism and has an idiosyncratic socio-political context within which this study is situated. This paper demonstrates how women through their leadership in NGOs strive to change the distribution of resources not only at the community level, but the national level as well. These women played an instrumental role in the struggle for changes in the national banking system of Mexico that is lead by social actors outside the country, such as the IMF and the World Bank. I conclude by arguing that such a change in the distribution of resources within a country will influence that country's capacity to navigate the increasingly complex nature of international relations. Moreover, in light of my findings, I suggest that scholars need to rethink how we conceptualize leadership and citizenship.
