This comprehensive volume delves into the intricate dynamics of the Mexican manufacturing sector during the NAFTA era. With multiple objectives in mind, it serves as a continuation and revitalization of the structuralist economic perspective and debate proposed by Latin American development theory. Moreover, it conducts a thorough analysis of the trend of structural heterogeneity in Mexico from 1994 to 2008, utilizing the manufacturing sector as a focal point. Furthermore, it employs methodologies established by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) to provide a detailed statistical evaluation of the effects of economic liberalization on structural change, labor productivity, production concentration, and dynamic competitiveness in the key industries of the sector, including food, beverages, and tobacco; textiles and apparel; chemistry; electromechanics.

By offering a historical backdrop to the economic transformation of Mexico following trade liberalization, this volume holds significant appeal to students, scholars, and researchers specializing in industrial economics, economic development, Latin-American studies, developing studies, international economics, international relations, political science, and economic geography. Its insights and findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex economic dynamics and challenges faced by Mexico and other Latin American countries in the post-NAFTA era.
