México entrampado: cuatro decadas perdidas

Main Article Content

Abstract

The author raises the idea of defining Mexico as trapped nation to differentiate it from the classic concepts of a developed, underdeveloped or emerging nation used in academia worldwide. The definition of a trapped nation is related to a high rate of institutional change(six-yearly) without a return on investment in social capital and collective opportunity costs that translate into development, democratic consolidation and social welfare. It is considered that since the eighties of the last century, great political and economic reforms have been implemented without reversing the anomalous conditions the led to them.
