Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

To describe the collective actions carried out in Zapopan's 10th district by an active minority who, through a process of social influence, brought about a horizontal political project by supporting an independent candidate in the 2015 local election to change district representation.When we speak of social action, the subject of study is immediately associated with social movements; this research project will examine an active minority that influences a social group, seeking to innovate in the field of district representation, since the traditional form of participation is no longer appealing.Jalisco society is familiar with the municipality of Zapopan, yet few realize how representative it is at the national level due to its economic, educational, and developmental conditions; This project examines how the marginalization index influences voting trends and forms of political participation, using the index's dimensions and indicators to understand its implications. The range of actions undertaken by citizens includes protests, demonstrations, and the reclaiming of public space.
