Abstract

This article identifies and problematizes the exchanges between two structuring dimensions of territorial studies: economic science applied to geographical knowledge and power practices linked to territorial planning. For this purpose, the classic models of spatial economy are reviewed, which expanded the horizon of knowledge of geography, to the point of influencing the capitalist rationality of the Western world itself. For the case of Guatemala, a Central American country on the capitalist periphery, the application of territorial organization models such as regionalization and territorial planning is considered, with the aim of answering the question regarding the relationships between policies. of State, the processes of territorial integration and the spatial arrangements that are launched around the “new” paradigm of territorial planning.

Keywords: (1) Guatemala-territorial studies; (2) urban planning; (3) territory; (4) space; (5) urban ethos.
