Reuniones de vecinos Participación y regulación moral en la ciudad de Buenos Aires gobernada por el PRO

Abstract

“Neighbors’ meetings” are events organized by the Buenos Aires City Government (GCBA) during which the mayor talks to local residents in a specific neighborhood. Particular ways of producing ‘participation’ take place during these events, and “neighbors” are defined as a community of reference that will orientate governmental policies, both through discursive and non-discursive practices. This paper thus analyzes “Neighbors’ meetings” in the city of Buenos Aires in order to understand the meanings of ‘participation’, as fostered by GCBA, and how it works as a “moral regulation” device. In addition, the article seeks to clarify how the political identity of the ruling PRO party permeates it’s participatory initiatives. As a consequence, we will also refer to other Palabras clave Participación Ciudadana; Ciudadanía; PRO; Vecinos; Políticas Públicas doi: 10.34096/cas.i52.6541
