Book Description
Social and territorial spaces around the world are undergoing economic restructuring due to globalization process that has led to the removal of restrictions on capital mobility and the factors of production, and therefore, flows of capital, goods, technology, and especially the expansion of markets. This transnational reorganization of production and market globalization have led to the relocation of economic activity and spatial agglomerations. The relocation of production activities has generated local spaces acquire great importance, precisely because of the mobility and networking in the space of the different capitals: production, financial, human, and goods and information. Certainly globalization changes the spatial distribution of economic activity and accentuates socioeconomic differences among localities and regions, since they exhibit different rates of economic growth and social progress, because these spaces are not inserted in the same way, not to the same degree, in the new globalized economy. In this paper, the economic restructuring that has experienced the metropolitan area is analyzed in Metropolitan Area of León (MAL), Guanajuato, Mexico, in the last decade as a result of globalization especially productive restructuring and relocation of production activities by both TNCs and nationals enterprises. The MAL has become an area of attracting foreign direct investment, ie a 'growth pole', where the location of industrial activities is encouraged, and providing new investments, and the opportunity to exploit economies of scale reducing costs due to expansion and to merge with another companies. As a result has developed an economy called agglomeration geographic concentration of automakers and auto parts mainly in Silao, one of the municipalities that are part of the area. This agglomeration economy, has led to intense processes of competition between regions to attract investment, processes in which the State of Guanajuato has participated strongly and particularly MAL. The purpose of this paper is to examine the processes of economic restructuring of the area, and how has been developed the spatial and economic agglomeration, its impact on local economic growth, and competition generated between municipalities and other regions of the State of Guanajuato.

Book Description
Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, Hogeschool Rotterdam (Rotterdam Business School), course: Cross-Cultural Management, language: English, abstract: Mexico has gained increasing significance in both regional and international business, due to the phenomenon generally known as globalization or mundialización, as Mexicans prefer to name. Globalization is explained as an increase of international economic and socio-cultural relations, especially in terms of supra-regional trade , , driven particularly by technology and media. In 1982, Latin America has started executing a wide opening of its markets and a “quick liberalization of the latter” , as a reaction to “a severe balance of payments crisis” . Over the years, its geo-strategic position between North and South America as well as the globalization “have made Mexico the darling of the international business community” , at least one of the many beneficiaries in Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe. Most recently, “The Economist” certified Mexico’s economy to be “in good shape” with “no serious macroeconomic problems at the horizon.” , So, generally and superficially speaking, Mexico is seemingly looking at a bright future in economic terms. Having this said, one has also to consider that integration and globalization are based on quickly developed and implemented trade developments, slowly followed by socio-political and cultural effects. Yet, the economic rise following the measures mentioned above has had several drawbacks, such as “three currency crises, [...] the most recent of which occurred in 1995 following a large devaluation of the peso”. Effects of the integration development of the previous two decades were presented as mainly positive in the public, especially by lobbyists and groups favouring the current trends. However, there has been a large group of losers, which has not participated in the economic upswing of the country yet and probably will not for quite a long period of time. As a proof, one can consult different statistics about poverty increase in the country. , So, finally I want to analyse and, by weighing pro and contra arguments, possibly prove the thesis that there have been many advantages created and put into action by globalization, but that many Mexicans have not yet been included into the advantages of it yet. In order to carry this out, I am going to look closer at different forces of globalization acting upon Mexico as well as the different stakeholder groups representing the various interests involved nowadays in the overall development of the country.

Book Description
This title was first published in 2001. An analysis of the political economy of Mexico's financial reform. It is organized in three parts. The first part - chapters one to four - develops the framework, both historical and institutional. The first chapter outlines the theoretical discussion on state autonomy and develops a simple analytical framework to study public policy decisions. The subsequent three chapters address three main themes: external dependency of domestic states on international capital, political change under President Carlos Salinas and financial policy in Mexico. The second part presents the analysis of three main institutional changes to the financial system - development banking reform, commercial banking privatisation and autonomy of the central bank. Each specific case study shows how the reforms conformed to the ideas of the dominant consensus on economic policy and how they delivered an inefficient incentive structure. The third part - chapter eight - brings together all the elements to explain Mexico's 1994 financial crisis.
