Globalization and the unified world market have been challenged by severe financial crises, recession and mass unemployment on an international scale. In view of the fragility of the global order and the political and economic regimes that supported it, new options and other strategies and policies are needed to achieve a sustainable economic recovery and a lasting democratic order, where equality is the central objective of the actions of the State.

Recover the social issue as a political enterprise that integrates economic and social policy and thus foster sustained development in the abating of inequality, with full capacity to build good governments and better ways to understand and cooperate is an irrevocable task. To that end, the bases of the historical process of development, the change of paradigms and the emphasis on its objectives over time are reviewed, in particular, the mexican case.
