Una tipología que incluya la racionalidad tecnocrática versus el partidismo político ayuda a identificar varias estructuras del gobierno local que se encuentran en el México contemporáneo: gobiernos de política clientelar, indígenas autónomos, tecnócratas y modernizadores. La investigación de estudios de casos en mas de doce municipios donde gobiernan los tres partidos principales sugiere una tendencia hacia un gobierno municipal mas tecnócrata y administrativamente mas eficiente, así como nuevos patrones de partidismo. Esto es producto de las presiones recientes hacia una apertura electoral, la alternancia en el poder, los nuevos actores del gobierno, una mayor complejidad del desarrollo urbano y las reformas federales que ofrecen mayor autonomía a los gobierno locales. No obstante, si bien una mejor administración y una manera mas eficiente de gobernar con frecuencia conducen a resultados positivos, no implican necesariamente un "buen gobierno"
A typology comprising technocratic rationality versus political partisanship helps to identify several local governments structures found in contenmporary Mexico: political machines, autonomous-indigenous; technocratic; anf modernizing party governments. Case study research in over a dozen municipalities for three principal parties suggests a trend towards increasing technocratic and administratively efficient municipal government and changing patterns of partisanship. This arises from new pressures associeted with electoral opening, alternancia, new governments actors, geowing urban development complexity, and from federal reforms offering greater local government autonomy. However, while improved administration and technocratic governance often leads to positive outcomes, they do not necessarily imply "good government".
