“…Lack of long-term saving is particularly acute in the UK, but is also a problem in a number of other countries. The lack of use of such financial services on the part of consumers is of increasing concern as, in common with most western economies, in the UK there has been a gradual shift of responsibility for social provision from the state to the individual, a process which has been referred to as "neo-liberalism" (Leyshon and Thrift, 1997). In the face of such developments, consumers need to be engaged in the marketplace and able to provide for themselves.…”

“…Menos reconocida es también la producción estatal geoeconómica (Sheppard, 2011;Sokol, 2013) y geosocial mediante políticas públicas supuestamente neutras territorialmente, como las monetarias (Leyshon, 1997;Martin, 1998;Bravo et al, 2003), cambiarias (Daher, 1990;Beine & Coulombe, 2003) y demás políticas macroeconómicas, las que sin embargo resultan tener fuertes impactos geográfi camente discriminatorios, favoreciendo por ejemplo más a las regiones exportadoras -como las mineras-y menos a las de economía doméstica-como La Araucanía y Magallanes-al punto de suscitar movimientos sociales urbanos (Sassen, 2010;Harvey, 2013) y protestas regionalistas tales como las más recientes en Aysén y las anteriores en Magallanes.…”

RESUMENLa Región de Aysén es un caso paradigmático y, a la vez, paradójico. Siendo una "región extrema" es, sin embargo, la única al sur de Coquimbo que aumenta su participación en el PIB nacional en los últimos cuarenta años. Es más, Aysén crece un 28% en contraste a Magallanes, que es la que más reduce -en un 54.5%-su participación en el PIB del país: ¡una paradoja entre dos regiones patagónicas! Esta es la cuestión a investigar. En las conclusiones, se constata un sostenido sesgo pro norte y antisur del modelo de economía abierta basado en el sector exportador de recursos naturales. Más aún, se verifi ca que, aunque en la media nacional crecen fuertemente los sectores terciarios-urbanos, las "regiones ganadoras" poseen una acentuada "reprimarización" que fundamenta que se las pueda identifi car como "regiones-commoditity", más plenamente insertas en los mercados globales. Detrás de este modelo están las políticas gubernamentales de libre mercado, apertura económica, desgravación arancelaria, promoción exportadora e inserción global, además de las políticas monetarias y cambiarias. Y también las de los organismos supranacionales de la gobernanza económica global, que no solo afectan a los países y sus gobiernos, sino muy diferencialmente a sus regiones subnacionales.Palabras clave: Geopolítica fi nanciera, políticas macroeconómicas, regiones-commodity, Patagonia. ABSTRACTThe Aysen Region is both a paradigmatic and paradoxical case. As an "extreme region", it is the only region in Chile south of Coquimbo that has increased its contribution to national GDP in the past forty years. Additionally, Aysen grew by 28% compared to Magallanes, the region that experienced the most signifi cant decrease in contribution to the national GDP (54.5%); a paradox between two Patagonian regions! This is the research question. Finding show that there is a clear pro-north and anti-south bias within the open economy model, based on the natural resource exportation sector. Furthermore, it can be confi rmed that at a national level, while the tertiary-urban sectors have experienced signifi cant growth, the "winning regions" have experienced an accentuated "re-primarization". This establishes the basis for what can be identifi ed as "commodity-regions", which are more fully embedded within global markets. Aysen, with a relatively late-blooming salmon industry and a renewed mining sector, would seem to be taking on and joining this primary-export model. Behind this model are a number of factors such as free market policies, economic liberalization, tariff exemptions and deductions, export promotion and global insertion, in addition to corresponding monetary and exchange policies. Supranational organizations involved in global economic governance must also be taken into account, as the macroeconomic policies implemented at this scale affect not only countries and their national governments, but also have a differential impact on sub-national regions as well.
