Abstract

The paper offers an exploratory analysis of the capacities and institutional deficits of local governments in the region of Nuevo Cuyo. We will focus on the way that associated municipalities manage policies, programs and micro-regional projects. The accent will be put on the organization the management of procedures, and more particularly, the legal institutional framework. We shall consider restrictions on institutional capacity to hinder or impede the implementation of partnership projects. We will therefore determine the degree of autonomy actually held by municipalities and associations of municipal agencies in Argentina.
