Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the institutionalization of a region of the United States of America: the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley. It will use and build on theories of regional institutionalization, geography, and demography by Paasi, Harvey, Gilbert, and other theorists. This research asks how history, geography, and demography challenge the present and future regional institutionalization of the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley. To answer this question, recent case studies on institutionalization and regional development in Canadian and U.S.–Mexican regions will be used to explain phenomena.

El propósito del presente documento es analizar la institucionalización de una región de Estados Unidos: el Valle Bajo del Río Grande de Texas. Para ello aplicaré teorías sobre institucionalización regional, geografía y demografía de Paasi, Harvey, Gilbert y otros teóricos. En esta investigación indagaré cómo la historia, la geografía y la demografía enfrentan desde hoy y hacia el futuro la institucionalización regional de ese sitio. Para responder este interrogante y explicar el fenómeno se tomarán en cuenta estudios de caso sobre la institucionalización y el desarrollo regional en Canadá y en regiones de influencia conjunta para Estados Unidos y México.
