MATEU GONZALEZ, Josep Joan. La cancelación de la vía oligárquica de la gran irrigación en México: Sinaloa (1908-1936). Mundo agr. [online]. 2006, vol.6, n.12. ISSN 1515-5994.

The objective of this work is to show the possibilites that offers the documentation preserved in the Archivo Histórico del Agua to approximate the growing implication of Mexican State into the process of agrarian modernization, through an irrigation foment policy, during the first third of the XXth century. To achieve this goal we began from the characterization of the agro-exporting model implemented in Mexico between 1877 and 1930. After that we make a synthesis os the agropecuarian sector in Sinaloa State during that same period. Next, its emphasized the initial spectations that the oligarchy had over the big irrigation in Sinaloa from the study, mainly macroeconomic, of the three enterprises that take a contract of subvention with the federal government at the end of the Porfiriato. And, at least, from the following of this same cases, its made clear the motives that let us understand the progressive lost of legitimacy, after the revolutionary period of 1910, of that modernizing model of the agro "from the top" with public support to its end.

Keywords : irrigation; agrarian colonization; hacienda; Mexico.
