Regional development and its impact on mexican society

Abstract

Addressing the challenge of regional development in Mexico, a priority for authorities and society requires a holistic integration of economic and social policies geared towards sustainability. This research focused on deliberating about the impact of regional development on Mexican culture, adopting a qualitative paradigm, and conducting an exploratory study through a robust documentary review guided by a scientometric analysis. Databases such as Google Scholar and ScienceDirect were accessed without language restrictions, using descriptors like 'regional development,' 'Mexican society,' 'impact of regional development,' 'regional problems', and 'regional inequalities', covering the period from 2000 to 2022. The thematic lines identified in the research on regional development in Mexico emphasize the consolidation of public and social policies, the identification of regional problems with a particular focus on vulnerable groups and poverty in Latin America, and propose solutions to social inequalities through collective action and the promotion of local development
