Maya Train has been the subject of a debate on the worldview that imposes an organization of the territory, confronting the discourse of progress promoted by the self-proclaimed Fourth Transformation (4T) with the ethno-ecological conservation and self-determination of the Maya peoples. There is a wide range of documents that link this megaproject to global capitalism, and thus to modernity and territorial dispossession, placing it in a historical continuity of exploitation. This paper seeks to articulate the analysis of the Maya Train not only as an infrastructure project, but also as a case of territorial planning from the perspective of internal neocolonialism in south-southeastern Mexico. The objective is to explore the conjunctures and ideal categories that allow us to understand the domination function of this train, inscribed in a process of internal colonialism that has evolved from Porfirianism to the territorial integration policies promoted by Lopezobradorism and the 4T, within the framework of the different temporalities and emergencies of capitalism.

Palabras llave : internal colonialism; land-use planning; regional development; neocoloniality; megaprojects; Yucatan Peninsula; Maya Peoples.
