MERCHAND ROJAS, MARCO ANTONIO. IS MEXICO A STATE THAT REPRODUCES REGIONAL INEQUALITIES?. Finanz. polit. econ. [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.2, pp.403-426. ISSN 2248-6046.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revfinanzpolitecon.2014.6.2.9.

This article analyzes how the Mexican State has promoted inequality levels instead of decreasing them. These levels have also been promoted to generate a more unbalanced and disassembled regional development just in favor of the prevailing sectorial interests whereas in agriculture, the industries or the service sector, because these just look for economical spaces that allow to reproduce spurious resources (economic enclaves) without a contribution to local communities. Negative externalities indeed affect many times and undermine the social network of local populations. Throughout the following paragraphs, it will be explained how the Mexican State, in these last thirty years, has shown itself just as regulatory and sponsoring instance of an increasingly exclusive economic growth, in favor of capital and against work. Besides that, this State is unable of holding or guaranteeing minimum conditions (economic and social) for national and local spaces to recreate their reproductive network so they could show a historical and consolidated route; on the contrary, spaces with irreversible negative synergies have emerged.

Keywords : State; inequality; regions; economics and politics.
