The mayoral office is, in the Spanish system, the center of the local political organiza tion. And yet, we lack consistent information of the profile and activities of mayors: what is their social profile? How does their political career evolve? What is their position in the local governance network? What are the challenges they face and the priorities the come to office with? This contribution attempts to fill this gap with information gathered from a survey conducted in municipalities larger than 10.000 inhabitants. Building on mayors\u2019 responses to a questionnaire, we can build knowledge on their traits, trajectories and the conditions of their work.<\/p>\n
En el sistema local espa\u00f1ol, la alcald\u00eda es la figura central de la organizaci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica municipal. Sin embargo, no disponemos de mucha informaci\u00f3n sobre el perfil y la activi dad de los alcaldes y alcaldesas; \u00bfqu\u00e9 caracter\u00edsticas socio-demogr\u00e1ficas les definen? \u00bfQu\u00e9 trayectoria pol\u00edtica siguen? \u00bfQu\u00e9 posici\u00f3n ocupan en la gobernanza local? \u00bfA qu\u00e9 retos se enfrentan y qu\u00e9 prioridades de pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas identifican? El presente art\u00edculo pretende llenar parte de este hueco con datos procedentes de la realizaci\u00f3n de una encuesta a los propios alcaldes de municipios mayores de 10.000 habitantes. A partir de las respuestas obtenidas, podemos contestar algunos de los interrogantes sobre la principal figura de la pol\u00edtica local, analizando sus caracter\u00edsticas, recorridos y las condiciones en que desarrollan sus tareas.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Navarro, C., Medir, Ll., Mart\u00ednez, R.
