In the past few decades, there have been several instances which
emphasize Mexicans’ capability of solidarity and philanthropic
cooperation. But how long-lasting are these sentiments, and how
often do they actually present themselves?
This is one of the fundamental questions asked by the book "Philanthropy
and Civil Society in Mexico," in which the issue of Mexican
philanthropy is approached based on the values, beliefs, and
habits pertaining to donations, volunteering, and trust placed
in the institutions in this country. Why, although Mexicans are
so willing to help during natural disasters and other
catastrophes, such support rarely exists at other times? What
role do the levels of perceived corruption and insecurity in
Mexico play in this intermittent philanthropic support? How can
confidence in Mexican institutions, as well as other Mexicans,
be encouraged so as to develop civil society in the country? How
can social networking help in this development?
This country faces several significant challenges for
philanthropy and civil society, making it more important than
ever to become familiar with the analysis presented in this book.
