Economía y diversidad. Su relación con el sur-sureste mexicano

Abstract

THIS ARTICLE ANALYZES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIVERSITY AND SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST REGION OF MEXICO, AND IS BASED ON THE IDEA THAT DIVERSITY CAN BE CONCEPTUALIZED AS A COMPLEX COMBINATION OF PHYSICAL, ECOLOGICAL-ENVIROMENTAL, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS WHICH ARE IN CONSTANT UNITY AND INTERACTION. THE CONCLUSION IS MADE THAT THIS RELATIONSHIP HAS STIMULATED THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ECONOMY AND DIVERSITY IN THE COUNTRY, AND THAT THIS CONFICTS IS GRADUALLY ELIMINATING THE LATTER, DESTROYING NATURAL RESOURCES, CULTURE AND ANCESTRAL KNOWLEDGE-WHICH ARE THE BASIS FOR ”DIVERSITY” IN REGIONS LIKE THOSE IN SOUTH-SOUTHEAST MEXICO.
