8.4 The Spatio Temporal Fix

Based on the above analysis I will present the spatio temporal fix for which Salinas, through his informes, sought to achieve a general consensus. I will contrast this with a hypothetical fix proposed by EZLN, based on the introduction of the data.

	Salinas	EZLN
Period	Technocrat Era (1988-1994)	Technocrat Era (1988-1994)
Accumulation Strategy	Free Market Privatisation	Anti globalisation Anti neoliberalism
Political Project	Social liberalism NAFTA Changes in Constitution Program of National Solidarity	End of the party-state system Establishment of a pluralist democracy Autonomy for ethnic minorities included in a pluralist nation
Hegemonic Project	To help Mexico enter the first world Through a project of Modernisation	A national discussion toward a pluralist democracy
Agents+ Agents-	+industrial bourgeoisie +rich landowners -new social movements	+progressive intellectuals +indigenous groups + progressive sectors of the Church - government - certain groups of indigenous people - conservative sectors of society
Spatio/Temporal	Globalisation (potential) End of PRI-era	Chiapas National Global (worldwide) Strive for a better Mexico (many Mexicos) and for a better world (many worlds) Implementation of NAFTA
Construction of National Space	Civic Nationalism One state	Pluri-ethnic Integrated Nationalism

These overviews will be used throughout the discussion on what discursive and social strategies are used to gain hegemonic acceptance for these projected aims.
