ENRIQUEZ PEREZ, Isaac. The structural decline of the public and the dialectic development/underdevelopment: genesis and manifestations of the State crisis in Mexico. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.74, pp.87-125. ISSN 1665-0565.  https://doi.org/10.32870/espiral.v26i74.7037.

This article analyzes the symbolic-institutional dimensions of the genesis and perpetuation of underdevelopment, with emphasis on the decline of public life and the state crisis in Mexico. For that, the different forces, factors and factual powers

that -from the outside and from within, from above and from below- gravitate, upset and reconfigure the institutional frameworks, the functions of the state and public decisions facing the transformation of national sovereignty are explored. The objective is to understand how there is a relation between the decline of the public, the transformations of the state and the proliferation of actors and forces that challenge its power, dispute the hegemony, and affect the design of the public agenda, to the extreme that political elites lose capacity for the articulation, cohesion and regulation of society.

Keywords : Dialectic development/underdevelopment; state crisis; planning and public decisions; global spaces for decision making; National sovereignty.
