Abstract
CADENA INOSTROZA, Cecilia; FRANCO MAASS, Sergio and CAMPOS ALANIS, Héctor. Territoriality and Policy. San Felipe del Progreso, Municipality Division. Gest. polít. pública [online]. 2007, vol.16, n.2, pp.421-464. ISSN 1405-1079.
According to the national government, the creation of new municipalities in Mexico responds to the interest towards making the economical, political and social development more balanced. This article looks into the relation between official motivations for the division of a municipality in the State of Mexico and political motivations for it which are not openly exposed. This analysis shows that we are being brought to an increase of the regional, social and economical differences, and at the same time to a homogenization of electoral politics in the territory.
