Résumé anglais State and Peasantry in Mesoamerica and the Andes. The expansion of the state has called forth varied and contradictory reactions among the peasantry in Mesoamerica and the Andes. State expansionism tends to determine a new position for peasants in society. At first, it helped to liberate the rural labour force from the traditional landowners, and attach them to the capitalist oligarchies of planters and mine-owners. In the forties, it originated the insertion of rural populations into the goods and services market required by the new industry. However, the demographic growth and the exhaustion of the old type of development now prompt some governments to engage in new politics concerning the supernumerary populations which cannot be integrated into society.
