Abstract

Resumen En este artículo se analiza cómo el Estado mexicano en lugar de haber aminorado los grados de desigualdad, estos se han promovido e, incluso, de cierta manera, han sido fomentados para generar un desarrollo regional más desequilibrado y desarticulado en función únicamente de los intereses sectoriales predominantes, sean agrícolas, industriales y de servicios; pues solo se buscan espacios económicos que permitan reproducir capitales espurios (enclaves económicos), sin una contribución a las comunidades locales; incluso, muchas veces, se han generado externalidades negativas que socavan el tejido social de las poblaciones locales. A lo largo de los siguientes párrafos, se explica cómo el Estado mexicano en estos últimos treinta anos se ha mostrado solo como instancia regulativa y promotora de un crecimiento económico excluyente a favor del capital y en contra del trabajo. Además, es un Estado incapaz de sostener o asegurar las condiciones mínimas (económicas y sociales) para que los espacios nacionales y locales reproduzcan su tejido productivo y se permita que estos muestren un trayecto histórico consolidado; por el contrario, han surgido espacios con sinergias negativas irreversibles.******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.
