Abstract
LOEZA LARA, Pedro Damián; RAMIREZ SANCHEZ, Rubén Darío and REYES TELLEZ, Mario Alberto. The Chapala Wetlands in Michoacán: change and permanence in regional construction. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.142, pp.237-259. ISSN 2448-7554.
This essay illustrates the processes that defined the agricultural, social and political conformation of the region of the Chapala Wetlands in the state of Michoacán, from the arrival of the first Spaniards to modern times. Attention focuses on such phenomena as the birth of agricultural-ranching haciendas up to the imposition of the neoliberal model. In general, the article analyzes how this region developed as the result of social processes that permitted the generation of a new scheme of dominion through the convergence of entrepreneurs, hacendados and the State.
Keywords : region; social change; political structure; modernization; neoliberalism.
