Geografía social de zonas críticas en México su contexto económico político: 1982-2005

Abstract

It would be very difficult to understand the socialproblems in Mexico, without locating them in the economic-politician context of which they are part, and a consequence. Mexico is inserting in the economic system proposed by the wb and the iMf. The neoliberal model marks as priorities the economic growth, the private investment, the demand to the State to detach more and more from the eco-nomic activities, and it doesn’t have as an objective the social well-being. Consequently it has taken place the depauperization of agricultural field, the rural emigration toward the cities. The most important consequence, in the social environment of this eco-nomic model, it has been the polarization through the formation of socially critical regions; the capital concentration, the social and patrimonial benefits in one hand, and the margination on the other hand. The social geography resultant was defined, starting from the creation, of an Index of Nutritional Risk by Municipalities, there were eight big regions. They have the characteristic of being rural communities, lest than 2 500 people. Must of them are inhabited by indigenous groups and are populations that inhabit in thelandispartofthesystemsandmountainouschains the land is part of the systems and mountainous chains that are constituted as the last habitat resource. Therefore it is important the studies of inequalities, particularly of these socially critical regions.
