The State Incentives to Oligopoly in Face of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Latin America

The participation of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the economies of the developing countries is essential, at the same time that we face a global increase of enterprises concentration in the sense of creation of large economic conglomerates that have the main world market shares. The oligopolies' matter, especially in Latin America, is correlated to the democratisation and privatisation processes of the economy of those countries which occurred more intensely in the beginning of the 1990's, after the fall of the dictatorships and infusion of neoliberalism prevailing in the local State policies. Henceforth, considering those conditions as paradigms of a structural condition conniving with oligopoly, there should be a discussion concerning the possible solutions for implementation of conditions of development for those enterprises and, consequently, provide compulsion to the necessary increase of competition, for the sake of favouring the entire society.
