          Abstract

          En un contexto de globalización y apertura política el panorama del México rural presenta características inéditas. En el presente artículo abordamos la transformación rural como cambio institucional. Tomando como caso de estudio un municipio rural del Estado de México ilustramos los cambios del ejido y el ayuntamiento, dos instituciones que han conformando el espacio rural mexicano. La caída de la agricultura de subsistencia, el crecimiento demográfico, la descentralización política y económica del gobierno federal hacia los municipios y la competencia electoral a nivel local son factores que están contribuyendo a la decadencia del ejido y paralelamente al surgimiento del ayuntamiento.

          Translated abstract

          In a context of globalization and political openness, rural Mexico has unusual characteristics. In this article, we will deal with rural transformation as institutional change. Based on a case of a rural municipality in the state of Mexico, we will illustrate the changes in ejido and municipal government, two institutions that have shaped Mexican rural space. The collapse of subsistence farming, demographic growth, the political and economic decentralization of federal government towards municipalities and electoral competition at the local level are factors that are contributing to the fall of the ejido and at the same time, to the emergence of municipal government.
