Resumen
HURTADO GROOSCORS, Héctor. Citizenship, Civil Society and Social Movement in Latin America: Contemporary Democratic Challenges in Mexico and Venezuela (1990-2012). Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.18, pp.49-61. ISSN 1870-4115. https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2014.18.22.
Social sciences have had to face the challenge of developing conceptual and analytic frameworks to approach the transformation processes in contemporary societies. Important challenges are faced in the fields of economic development, governance, social inclusion, citizenship expansion and social mobilization among others. The study of civil society and its movements viewed as social actors has thus been approached in order to understand the pressure exercised by democratic governments in Latin America, particularly in Mexico and Venezuela, in order to promote the extension of citizen rights, democratic reforms, the visibilization and recognition of the demands of LGBTI groups, indigenous people and Afro-descendant communities.
