Abstract
ABSTRACT During the last three decades, profound changes have taken place in the organization and subordination of scientific and technological workforce in the automotive sector, in new forms of rent generation and corporate appropriation of knowledge that distinguish the restructuring of innovation systems in contemporary capitalism. This paper delves into the content and characteristics of these changes, focusing on the paradigmatic case of the scientific-technological city based in the Greater Detroit area. Using the case of the relation between Mexico and the United States, it argues that the global deployment of innovation systems in the auto industry occurs under regional patterns of uneven development where the US retains the bulk of scientific and technological activity, while Mexico has been assigned a subordinate role, excluded from the creation of knowledge, despite being an important auto manufacturer. This asymmetric relation is associated to the incorporation of Mexican engineers in the US knowledge intensive automotive complex.
