Abstract

México presents regional disparities in social and economic
aspects. For that reason, the Mexican government generated
diverse financial instruments to provide greater physical
and institutional infrastructure, and to develop a productive
environment in the regions. With these initiatives, positive
impacts could be expected in levels of income and access to
educational, health and housing services, as well as a greater
participation of the population in the political and social life of
these regions. Even when these efforts are being carried out, we
observe a sector of the population with social gaps and High and
Very High levels of marginalization. In this study, we analyze:
1) the planning model on which regional Mexican policies are
based; 2) the financial instruments generated in the context of
this model and, 3) their impacts in different areas related to
regional convergence. Results indicate that the planning model
as policy analysis, from which regional policy and financial
instruments are generated, make up the factors that reveal the
permanence of territorial imbalances in México.
