MARQUEZ COVARRUBIAS, Humberto. El desarrollo participativo transnacional basado en las organizaciones de migrantes. Prob. Des [online]. 2006, vol.37, n.144, pp.121-144. ISSN 0301-7036.

The paper analyzes the theory and practice of transnational participative development based on migrant organizations in the high migration zones. The hypothesis is that it is a development model implemented with the main proposal of attracting resources-the participative remittances-from the migrant organizations, to complement municipal work programs. It concludes that while a limited social development is produced for community living and the generation of basic social infrastructure, without substantial socio-economic improvements, in reality that process is intended to benefit local governance in the migratory zones and ultimately legitimize neo-liberal policy. To illustrate the problem better the paper reviews the case of Zacatecas, a state with major migratory dynamism and a place where transnational participative development has been adopted.

Keywords : transnational participative development; participative remittance; migrant organizations; Three-for-One program; high international migration zone.
