With a newly elected Congress in 1995, the United States government (USG) began to face a family of questions sun ounding the possible sale of its largest and most profitable asset the giant oil and gas field, Elk Hills, or Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1. Discovered nearly 90 years ago, it became a Federal Reserve by Executive Order of the President in 1912. The fourth largest of some 278 fields in California, and producing over 1.4 billion barrels of oil (energy equivalent for both oil and natural gas) per annum by 1998, it was originally set aside both to protect the resource and to establish a strategic reserve for the US Navy. Although highly productive in the recent past, it was seen by both the USG's industry partner and the Congress as likely to become less profitable as its production declined and costs increased. The industry partner was the private sector oil corporation, Chevron USA, which by 1976 owned an undivided 22 percent interest in the field. Several public institutions were involved in evaluating and creating a future for Elk Hills:

In recent years, the important role of the State in formulating and implementing economic policies towards achieving societal growth and development has, broadly speaking, undergone many changes and transformations. In Mexico, the protectionist, statist and populist regime has been replaced by the so-called neoliberal state model which can be said to have achieved some impressive results in terms of economic growth and development. Unfortunately, increasing poverty is one of the most distressing results of neoliberal policies. Further disappointing results include rising unemployment, slumping incomes, and a widening gap between rich and poor, leading to fissures in society and a fueling of guerrilla warfare and crime waves. This article focuses on the fundamental concepts of representation, economic functions and the organization of state models in Mexico. GLOBALIZATION AND THE NEOLIBERAL STATE MODEL According to Moctezuma (1997), the debate over current state models evident in the world has evolved through three different stages. The first stage involved the need for state reform and improvement in efficiency. The second stage concerned itself with the modifying relations within the states and with issues of an economic nature. At the cusp of the millennium, the third and present stage is centered on the transformation of the state with a view to a more participatory society. Recent events have demonstrated the failure of many economic policies that were implemented, in accordance with the welfare state model, by various countries following the Second World War. Even the great conservative revolution initiated by Margaret Thatcher in Britain in 1979, replacing the welfare state model by advancing capitalist principles, has been challenged by Tony Blair and the Labour Party’s election victory on May 1, 1997. Neoliberal economic reforms, also known as the “Washington Consensus”, entail public policies that are directed toward tight fiscal discipline, slashing of social benefits, deregulation and lowering of trade barriers, and privatization of public sector organizations in order to achieve balanced budgets. Several economic analysts have expressed concern about the destabilizing effects of the reforms. Sáenz (1997) believes that the contemporary emergence of ideological divergences and violent manifestations in many parts of the world indicate that the economic policies of the immediate past and their potential projection into the future will not generate consensus. As Harvard’s Mangabeira (Conger, 1997) recently put it in an interview, “The opposition in Latin America is in danger of being represented as a populist backlash of the poor against the rich.” Furthermore, “other critics”, comments Conger (1997), “are focusing their attention and energy on the allegation that these same reforms have also spawned high unemployment and a sharp decline in the standard of living for the majority of Latin Americans.” The state model that emerged from the

The Asian financial crisis can be attributed in part to the “enterprise association” model of governance pursued in East and Southeast Asia. As a consequence, business has served governmentally defined ends, the independence of the social sphere has been stymied, and autonomous legal institutions have been slow to develop. Although this model has conditioned important policies pursued in Singapore and Taiwan, other influences have mitigated - though unintentionally - its worst effects. In Singapore, the elites have seen the importance for international financial credibility of the rule of law as it applies in many areas of commerce; the desire to limit for political ends the development of a powerful local bourgeoisie has encouraged it to keep the country particularly open to the activities of trans-national corporations. In Taiwan, the division (before the mid 1980s) of politics and business which reflected the divide between “mainlanders” and “Taiwanese”, and the institutionalised resourcing of the ruli...
