IGLESIAS PEREZ, Maydolis  and  JIMENEZ GUETHON, Reynaldo. Local development and social participation: What are we talking about?. Estudios del Desarrollo Social [online]. 2017, vol.5, n.1, pp. 60-73. ISSN 2308-0132.

ABSTRACT: This work reflects that local development accumulates diverse antecedents and experiences and, consequently, its meaning is apparently diverse when it is used by the experts, or by the social agents, frontier of reflections, debates, proposals and policies; for more decentralized and participatory public management at the local level. On the other hand, the article argues that social participation is now a common place in the Social Sciences, is an optimistic projection, relative to a new way of social construction, really democratic, that achieves different power relations; In this ideal state, the ordinary man would become subject rather than object, and social problems and contradictions would be solved by the conscious intervention of all individuals.

Keywords : local development; social participation.
