Economic internationalisation and regional response : the case of north eastern Mexico

Auteur :
VELLINGA, M.

Description :
Until 1988 Monterrey industries were operating on a protected domestic market. The situation changed with the opening up of the Mexican economy in that year and the signing of the NAFTA agreement. The paper analyses this insertion in the world economy and the regional response, first on an institutional level. On a sub-regional level, the A. observes the reaffirmation of regional idiosyncrasies in the social, political and cultural sphere. The interaction between these two processes has been creating a case of glocalisation within the context created by NAFTA.
