Industrial public policy versus the industrialization factor in aguascalientes, Mexico 2000-2018
This article approaches the sort of industrial policy that has been adopted during the last eighteen years in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. Such public policy stands out due to its use of formal and informal (i.e. illegal) means to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The aforementioned industrial public policy has been possible thanks to the articulation of agreements between its three main social stakeholders: governments, entrepreneurs, and labor unions, who have been able to attain, during the last 18 years, a near-universal reduction of labor conflict within factories.
