| Sumario: | The Mexican state’s way of securing people’s right to own a home in irregular settlements is to regularize land ownership.

The study concludes that the right to housing should take into account political matters, because its fulf illment remains conditioned on the practices of the Mexican political system, which still has strong populist tendencies. |
