Abstract
Since the end of the 20th century, Mexico has experienced considerable neoliberal planning, based on reducing state intervention within important sectors of the country’s economy and dismantling previously constructed instruments. In the present article, it is argued that neoliberal policies imposed at different scales have favored a fragile, dependent and therefore vulnerable development (RAMÍREZ, 2010) from the implantation of a new development model that guided towards the future. Under such conditions of vulnerability, there is therefore a possibility of the risk of reproducing the productive material base of the country and of the social reproduction of disadvantaged groups and territories that present considerable physical problems in their conditions to evolve and transform. Policies in their different forms and scales contribute to the implementation of this type of development.
