Abstract

This article proposes a methodology to analyze perceptions on governance. The measurement intends to combine the satisfaction of citizens with the performance of institutions, their rulers and themselves as active actors in the improvement of Mexican democracy. The governance perception index was constructed with data obtained through a survey conducted in the state of Zacatecas. The results indicate the existence of correlation between citizens’ perception and poor performance rating of local government.
