Discussion

Juan Jacob Jun 11, 2004:
Totalmente de acuerdo: el 98 % de las paraestatales en M�xico fue privatizado a partir de mediados de los a�os 80. Todas fueron a dar a manos privadas y, para colmo, extranjeras. Gracias a Reagan, Thatcher y a nuestros presidentes... ehhh... sumisos.

El t�rmino cobra un peso especial en Am�rica Latina, relativo al peso que tuvieron ese tipo de compa��as antes de que el neoliberalismo pusiera de moda las privatizaciones. Por eso a�ad�, "en comparaci�n con Am�rica Latina" en donde las paraestatales pueden llegar a ser "la compa��a m�s grande". En todo caso tu proposici�n me result� muy �til y la discusi�n enriquecedora. Gracias de nuevo.
Juan Jacob Jun 11, 2004:
No estoy de acuerdo contigo cuando dices "un tipo de estructura poco com�n en las culturas anglosajonas". Lo poco com�n es el nombre que le damos los latinoamericanos, t�picamente borrocos: una empresa paraestatal es una empresa del estado. Gracias...

Selected

State company

I would put it that way: in fact, it's not "Companies working in direct partnership with the State", it's a company belonging to the state, very commun, in the past, in Mexico. Pemex (Petroleos Mexicanos, largest company in Mexico) is a paraestatal (not para-estatal). I've done my university degree about "empresas paraestatales en Mexico" (I've got no accents, please excuse me).
Luck.

Well, belonging to the state, yes, but sometimes with private investments.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "En México PEMEX es el mejor ejemplo de paraestatal. El problema es que es un tipo de estructura poco común en las culturas anglosajonas en comparación con América Latina. Muchísimas gracias"
