摘要：The Carabobo state (Venezuela) can be used as a reference to understand the changes in the
territorial management of the last decades. We can see the most characteristic features of two
ways of assuming the political-administrative processes in the organization and distribution of
responsibilities within the different levels of government. In the framework of the
decentralization, initiated in the early 90’s, opportunities and incentives are generated. These are
used in Carabobo for the renewal and coordination of the productive and social fabric and thus,
for the stimulation of regional development. With the changes observed in the political system
since 1999, alterations are prompted. With a deeper concentration of power at a national level,
these alterations affect the management and decision structure of sub-national governments. It
seems that there is a confrontation of views. The first one is closer to the “variable geometry”
(Castells), in which social networks between agents and plural institutions with different interests
and responsibilities are created; and, on the contrary, the “new power geometry” that concentrates
power of macro-strategic decision at a national level, and only tranfer the micro-operative
decision at a commune level.
Because of the fact that the whole intermediate decisions scope that corresponds to states and
municipalities is affected, these will be forced to strengthen themselves as “active spaces” to
insert and defend their territorial projects in the framework of the national development policies.
The capability of initiative is, in this sense, a fundamental aspect.
