La Normalización en México

Abstract

Lately in Mexico, an interesting way and fairly useful for allowing an increase in the
citizen’s participation in the public administration has been the “normalización” (technical
rule making), which drifts between soft law and the general administrative decisions,
proposing an important dialogue between the Public Administration and the
citizen, mainly to protect consumer’s rights, but also, as an instrument for the purpose
of standardizing procedures and public acquisitions.
The objective of this work precisely is to analyze the legal nature of these technical
dispositions, centered in the Official Mexican Norm (NOM), its administrative procedure
of creation and the regulatory agencies.
