Globalized production systems and regional development: The example of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico
Pages 81 - 97

Criticizing one-sided representations of the current crisis of the Mexican maquiladora industry, this paper argues that current changes cannot adequately be approached from the territorial perspective underlying traditional development theories. Instead, the author argues for a post-territorial reading of development, linking alternative conceptualizations of the spatiality of economic processes with an understanding of territorial borders as always in the making and as such never pregiven and stable.
