Abstract

We start from the concept of accountability as a process in which government actors are in charge of
presenting their actions to citizens and these, with their civic commitment, are in charge of reviewing them in order to build a space for dialogue to determine to what extent they are actions were carried out within the framework of its powers. Consequently, the article develops three lines that result in the explanation of participatory citizen participation, accountability and oversight in Mexico. The first line is aimed at explaining
citizen participation in the framework of collaboration, making it clear that changes have been taking place in the characteristics of citizen organizations. In the second line, we analyze in general terms both horizontal and vertical accountability. And finally, we analyze collaborative citizen participation in accountability and oversight
in Mexico through a legal-institutional description.
