Resumen
Las inversiones mexicanas en Centroamérica han crecido bastante en los últimos años. Desde 1995 en adelante los países de la región han estado firmando acuerdos de libre comercio con México. Si bien no hay una relación causal clara entre los acuerdos y el crecimiento de las inversiones, se puede pensar que por tratarse de actividades Sur-Sur presentan un interés especial. Hay pautas específicas de comportamientos de la IED que aparecen en algunos casos, sobre todo en materia de transferencia de tecnología que vale la pena estudiar. Es importante tener en mente también que el eje central de los acuerdos para los países en desarrollo no es la promoción del comercio, sino de las inversiones. Si bien México está invirtiendo en forma creciente en países en desarrollo, su trayectoria se mide más bien en casos individuales. Por este motivo se analiza a profundidad el caso del Grupo Maseca

Although there is not a clear causal relation between the agreements and the growth of the investments, could be that because they are South-south activities present a special interest. There are specific guidelines of behaviors for the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) that appears in some cases, mainly in technology transference matters that is worth to study. It is important also have in mind that the mainly interest in the agreements for the developing countries is not the promotion of the commerce, but the investments. Although Mexico is investing in developing countries, its trajectory can be measurement in individual cases. For this reason the Maseca Group case is analyzed.
