Abstract

Abstract It is based on the assumption that productive spatial circuits have global dynamics built on the articulation between places and regions of the different socio-spatial formations that make up the current world system. The establishment of these cross-border dynamics is achieved by imposing the hegemonic temporalities of global agents, specifically those that promote the use of instrumental simultaneity for the purposes of capitalist accumulation. In industrial production, this spatial practice of companies is achieved, among other ways, by the exchange of productive inputs between countries that have the same branches of industry, and in this article we are dealing with the branches that make up the health industrial complex. It is by analyzing these flows of productive inputs and finished products that it is possible to produce indicators and estimate the countries that own these complexes. (AU)
