Proporcionar transparencia: Â¿Hasta quÃ© punto responde el gobierno mexicano a las solicitudes de informaciÃ³n pÃºblica

The data show substantial progress overall, combined with significant variation across federal agencies and a growing trend towards official denials of the "existence" of requested information. The findings indicate that support for and resistance to open government is unevenly distributed across the public sector. Future analysis of varying patterns of agency compliance should address both agency-specific incentives and institutional cultures.

An innovative new agency that serves as an interface between citizens and the executive branch of government has demonstrated an uneven but significant capacity to encourage institutional responsiveness. A ''culture of transparency'' is emerging in both state and society, although the contribution of Mexico's transparency discourse and law to public accountability remains uncertain and contested.
