Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the historical evolution of Mexican community-based AIDS organizations and the contemporary local, national and transnational organizational fields in which they operate. The paper demonstrates how different types of transnational ties shape structural aspects of Mexico City and Tijuana’s AIDS organizations and the political-organizational fields in which operate. In particular, the paper highlights how binational ties lead to organizational dependency and questionable sustainability; whereas international ties facilitate organizational technical capacity and longevity. Additional positive and negative effects of transnational ties and networks upon organizational structure, culture, and ability to accomplish effective HIV/AIDS service delivery is further discussed and linked to differences between Mexico City and Tijuana’s transnational contexts, including regional differences in geography, politics and community-based activism. The paper contributes to current research in the fields of qualitative network analysis, transnational social movements, and non-profit studies, as well as enhances the understanding of what makes sustainable non-profit community-based organizations and vital organizational fields at local, national and transnational levels.
