Abstract
This article will examine the maquiladora system and its effects upon the Mexico and United States. Then focus will shift to the Yucatan Peninsula, which so far has not heavily participated in maquiladoras. Through a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages, both to the United States and to Mexico of establishing maquiladoras in Yucatan Peninsula, the realization becomes apparent that this issue goes beyond the economics and increasingly waxes political. Finally, the discussion attempts to weigh the prospects of Yucatan industry, and to formulate a practical appraisal of the chances for maquiladoras in the region.
