La ruta asfaltada de la alternancia en México: de los centros urbanos a las periferias. | ||
in Foro Internacional , VOLUMEN LII - NÚMERO 1 , 2012 | ||
In Mexico, political changes emerge principally in cities, where socio-economic flows converge at the junctions of the intercity federal highway network. Many of these poles of regional development and urban/industrial corridors were the triggers for transfers of political power in their respective areas of influence, which followed the urban hierarchy marked out by the intercity highway network. The country was broken up into a mosaic of sub-national pluralist competitive units that co-existed with authoritarian enclaves, where marginalization with regard to the socio-economic flows of the urban hierarchy made them resistant to the effects of democratization. | ||
