This article explores the role of informal customary institutions (usos y costumbres) in local public goods provision in Mexico. It argues that the presence of informal customary institutions offers submunicipal village communities considerable advantages in local distributive politics. Hamlet communities with dense customary institutions have higher collective action capacity to organize their citizens for small-scale protests in municipal centers, which grants them access to more social infrastructure projects controlled by municipal politicians. This article therefore suggests a novel theoretical mechanism through which customary institutions affect development outcomes: collective contentious action. The study tests the main empirical implications of this theory, drawing on an original survey of submunicipal community presidents in the states of Puebla and Tlaxcala and qualitative interviews.

墨西哥的非正式习惯机构、集体行动和地方公共物品供应

本文探讨了非正式习惯机构的作用(usos y 服装) 在墨西哥提供当地公共产品。它认为,非正式传统制度的存在为市镇以下的村庄社区在地方分配政治中提供了相当大的优势。拥有密集传统制度的哈姆雷特社区具有更高的集体行动能力,可以组织其公民在市政中心进行小规模抗议,这使他们能够获得更多由市政政客控制的社会基础设施项目。因此,本文提出了一种新的理论机制,传统制度通过这种机制影响发展成果:集体诉讼行动。该研究利用对普埃布拉州和特拉斯卡拉州的市镇社区主席的原始调查和定性访谈,测试了该理论的主要实证意义。
