    El desarrollo de la industria minera sonorense: el retorno a la producción de metales preciosos
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1997-01-01) Bracamonte Sierra, Alvaro; Lara Enríquez, Blanca E.; Borbón Almada, Martha I.; BRACAMONTE SIERRA, ALVARO; 15430; Lara Enríquez, Blanca Esthela;#0000-0002-9127-3498; BORBON ALMADA, MARTHA IRENE; 97392
    This article shows the way in which ancient and recent history of the state of Sonora are closely linked to the exploitation of the states rich mining deposits. At the end of last century, Sonoran economy was mainly based on the extraction of precious metals, especially gold and silver; thereafter during the first decades of this century industrial metals, particularly copper, were the leaders in this sector and consequently, of the state?s entire economic activity. The importance mining had acquired gradually decreased due to the fact that agriculture and manufacturing increased their participation, attaining high growth rates. Nonetheless, the essay shows the present characteristics of the mining industry and that which it has during the last year, mainly in 1995 and 1996. A feverish dynamism is observed in the exploration and exploitation of several metals, which remind us of the sector?s best years. There is a difference in this new growth, since, on one hand, precious metals head the expansion and, on the other, financing of new projects is mainly through foreign investment. Once these issues are developed, it is concluded that the new boom in Sonoran mining is different, since it comprises a mining production structure with a less national trend , t h at is more vulnerable to the whims of international economic cycles.

    Interacciones sociedad-naturaleza en Mazatlán, Sinaloa
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1997-01-01) Beraud Lozano, José Luis; BERAUD LOZANO, JOSE LUIS; 14616
    The environment of the city of Mazatlán, Sinaloa, has beenradically altered, to the degree that its natural habitats are being replaced by artificial ones, and its inhabitants are in the least concerned with preserving some of the characteristic elements of this site, whose name means "place of deer", and that former comprised estuarine ecosystems, lagoons and beatiful beaches. Many of these resources have disappeared or face the danger of severe alterations resulting from the nature of community activities or "externalities" centered in obtaining short term profits, there being no culture for guaranteeing the preservation of natural resources to be managed in a sustained long term fashion, favoring the balance of natural cycles and satisfying the needs of future generations.

    Características del desarrollo del sector servicios en Sonora (1975-1993)
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1997-01-01) Velázquez Contreras, Lorenia; Andablo Reyes, Araceli; Velázquez Contreras, Lorenia; 36321; ANDABLO REYES, ARACELI DEL CARMEN; 86485
    Economic "tertiarization" is not a recent process. Nonetheless, the fact that its dynamics has surpassed even that of industrial activities, is surprising. This phenomenon mainly occurs in developed economies, although it is growingly noticeable in countries such as Mexico. The objective of the present paper is to detect the role played by the acelerated growth process of service in a country?s or region?s development in this particular case, the State of Sonora. The documents divided into three sections. The first one provides a brief introduction to establish the importance of the study of the service sector. The second section gives some of the characteristics of the so called ?service revolution? process. Next, the general features of Sonora?s economic growth will be presented, establishing the situation of the tertiary sector. The following section provides the characteristics of services proper. The fourth part comprises conclusions.

    De cómo hablamos de los indígenas los mexicanos (no indígenas) en el México actual
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-01-01) Zúñiga González, Víctor A.; ZUÑIGA GONZALEZ, VICTOR AURELIO; 4692
    During the last years, Mexican Indians have started out to emerge from their ancestral condition of "political invisibility" as they have recuperated their own voice, introducing social, political, and juridical languages about ethnic differences. Non-Indian interlocutors, however, receive these new languages through a framework based on interpretative premises and political categories inherited from the X I X Century. This article reviews the political arguments maintained by contemporary half-caste (mestizo) and Creole (criollo) people about the "indigenous issue", revealing the nineteenth- century grounds underpinning the topics and terminology as well as the political and semantic keys of such arguments.

    Identidad cultural y territorio: una reflexión en torno a las comunidades trasnacionales entre México y Estados
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-01-01) Velasco Ortiz, M. Laura; VELASCO ORTIZ, MATILDE LAURA; 13248
    This essay discusses the challenge posed by the reconceptualization of the relationship between culture and territory, taking into account the experience of the transnational migration of natives from Oaxaca, in Mexico, to the United States. The post- modernist theses about the fragmentation and discontinuity of the time and space experience in the migratory processes are recovered as assumptions to understand processes rather than an explanation of the reconstitution of the migrants identity. The hypothesis underlying this thinking is that there are certain processes or mechanisms which rejoin such fragmentation and discontinuity and their elucidation will allow us to understand the recreation of cultural identities within a context of apparent territorial uprooting and social desintegration.

    La espacialidad social en el estudio de la industrialización: Estructuras sin escalas, territorios sin sujetos
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-01-01) Alonso Estrada, Jorge; Alonso Estrada, Jorge; 72457
    This paper proposes a methodological discussion for critically applying the social space approach to the study of the industrialization processes. The social space or "sociospace" is proposed as a conception on the dual nature of the social integration: the practices oriented towards the production and reproduction of the material environment (spatial orientation), and the practices oriented towards the production of sociability (interactional orientation).To the end of applying this approach to industrialization, the paper proposes focusing on the social actors, the institutions (or economic governance regime), and the industrial trajectories. We close analyzing the state, firms and work from the dual optic of the functional / territorial integration.

    La descentralización de la política ambiental en la frontera norte: algunas reflexiones desde Sonora
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-07-01) Mumme, Stephen P.; Mumme, Stephen P.
    This study describes Mexico's decentralizing reforms in the area of environmental policy as they are evident in the case of the northwestern border state of Sonora. The study first locates environmental decentralization within the larger process of political decentralization in contemporary Mexico and the various forms of decentralization that are evident in Mexico today and specific institutional initiatives, national and international, contributing to the goal of environmental decentralization in Mexico. Sonora's progress in decentralizing environmental policy is then described with special emphasis on the role, resources, and activities of "municipios", particularly the municipio of Hermosillo, and on differences among border and interior municipios. The paper concludes t h at environmental decentralization in Sonora largely takes the form of disconcentration, is linked to basic service provision, is proceding more rapidly in the northern border are a , is associated with the growing strength of social movements, and is hampered by numerous ambiguities in existing laws and statutes that need to be addressed if Sonora's municipios are to assume more responsabilities in this policy area.

    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-07-01) Almaraz Alvarado, Araceli; Almaraz Alvarado, Araceli; 35484
    This article discusses the possibility of including the implicationsof the spatial movility of the firms in the specializing process of the Maquiladora Industry (MI). Strescing the importance of the socialtechnical configuration in the MI, the article explores its correspondence with the interaction process and expansion, throughout local peculinities and existing differences in the types of firms concentrated in the city of Nogales, Sonora. The idea developed throughout this article is that there should be a differentiation among localities and or regions in which the MI has been establishing, which should respond to the urgency of building typologies of industrial trajectories, reflecting of the organizational tendencies in the local and regional production and its connections to global markets.

    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-07-01) Sandoval Godoy, Sergio A.; Salazar Solano, Vidal; Wong González, Pablo; Sandoval Godoy, Sergio Alfonso;#0000-0002-8380-9520; SALAZAR SOLANO, VIDAL; 44276; Wong Gónzalez, Pablo; 145173
    This article presents a global view of the dynamics de agricultural and food products exportation that has been a taking place in the State of Sonora during the last few years. Special emphasis is given to the exporting products with a significative presence in the Asia-Pacific region, in particular the ones linked to the meat market. In the same way, it points out the most inmediate perspectives in such a process, taking into consideration the scenario of the main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats conditioning its development, in a growing globalization production and market context. The main idea is that even with its limitations, there is a clear tendency to create a competitive regional platform for the production and exportation of these products, which could be an important element in the diversity of the state's exterior commerce.

    Servicios de salud y salud de la mujer en el contexto de la globalización
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-07-01) Bronfman Pertzovsky, Mario; López Moreno, Sergio; Rico Galindo, Blanca; BRONFMAN PERTZOVSKY, MARIO NORBERTO; 7543; LOPEZ MORENO, SERGIO; 568471; Rico Galindo, Blanca;*CA1238098
    By 1999 The North American Free Trade Agreement will have undergone five years. Before its enforcement the treaty was questioned or defended by different social actors, which, could be affected or b e n e fitted by it. After five years the debate concerns the trade?s visible results. In this discussion, the circumstances that emergenced in he political and Mexican economics scene as NAFTA began (and that radically modified the conditions with which it was initially planned), provoked a setback in many potential fields. Therefore, it is necessary to renew the debate again, especially in those areas in which the treaty profounds. The controversy should take into consideration the globalization processes observed since World War II, in which the commercial treaties are only considered as aditional elements. This is very important while evaluating the commercial impact upon variables whose temporarity is enrolled in much bigger time limits or institutionalized arrangements that have their own dynamics and are inmersed in processes that precede the time and space that the NAFTA has. First of all there are some aspects relating women?s health and secondly the processes that have to do with health systems. This article begins with a global view of the globalizing process and its consequences, continuing with an analysis of specific conditions which when starting the NAFTA had to do with women?s health and health systems in the three signing countries. At the end of the paper there is a comment concerning the spheres which suffered modifications due to the NAFTA?s direct effect.

    Una aproximación a la administración municipal comparada. Los casos de los gobiernos locales de Austin y Hermosillo
    (El Colegio de Sonora, 1998-07-01) Pineda Pablos, Nicolás; PINEDA PABLOS, NICOLAS; 11876
    This work makes a brief comparative description of local governments and administrations of the city of Austin, Texas, and the municipality of Hermosillo, Sonora. The leading purpose is to review the extent of autonomy and control existing in each local government both in relation to state and federal governments and to local citizens. Thus the concepts of local government, legal base, the integration of the highest government unit, the range of substantive functions, financial structure of revenue and expenditure, and electoral participation are reviewed. The general conclusion is that the Hermosillo municipality shows up on the one side closely tied and controlled by state and federal governments and, on the other side, a very weak liaison to local citizenship. However a strong thrust towards change is perceived in the high extent of participation in local elections in Hermosillo.
