In Mexico, facilities built as part of the border industrialization program are called “maquiladoras” and the industry is called “maquila.” Most of Mexico`s assembly activities are located along the U.S. border and are concentrated in six cities in Tijuana, south of San Diego, California, near the Pacific Ocean, to Matamores, across from Brownsville, Texas, near the Gulf of Mexico. Development in the northern border region of Mexico has been strongly influenced by proximity to the United States. In addition, the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) also plays an important role.12 All of these geographic and institutional factors have established chihuahua As one of Mexico`s leading economic growth and development enterprises. Thanks to Maquiladora`s export industry, which needs a wide variety of services to mobilize its supplies and manufactured goods in and out of the United States, and the adoption of NAFTA, one of the fastest growing sectors in Chihuahua`s economy has been the transportation, warehousing and communications sector. The period 1993-2006, which measures GDP growth at constant prices for 1993, recorded exceptional growth of 191.3% (OECD, 2011). The World Social Forum (ESF) was created in response to the creation of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The SDF is a coalition of organizations that are committed to the idea of a global civil society and present themselves as an alternative to the EGF, which it says focuses too much on capitalism.

But until 2010, the evidence had the opposite effect; The data show 682,900 U.S. jobs lost in all states (Parks 2011). While NAFTA has increased the flow of goods and capital across the northern and southern borders of the United States, it has also increased unemployment in Mexico, resulting in an increase in the number of illegal immigrations motivated by job-seeking. According to the theory of globalization, the result of the globalization project has been the redistribution of wealth and poverty at the global level. Outsourcing shifts production to low-wage enclaves, eviction leads to higher unemployment rates in the traditionally prosperous north of the world, people migrate from rural areas to urban areas and “slum towns” and illegally from poor countries to rich countries, while large numbers of workers are simply sent back into global production and turn to casual informal work. The anti-globalization movement has developed as a counter-movement to define an alternative, non-corporate global project based on environmental sustainability, food sovereignty, workers` rights and democratic accountability. The second NAFTA annex agreement created the BECC and nadB to promote environmental infrastructure improvements along the border. The Commission recommends, on the basis of technical and environmental criteria, projects dealing with environmental challenges for possible nadB funding. Until March 1997, the NADB – governed and funded equally by Mexico and the United States – had received $337 million in paid-up capital and $1.9 billion in capital or appealable funds to cover future unpaid debts (NADB 1997, p.
