In contrast, integration has become a neoliberal goal or a voluntaristic approach. Several explanations of segregation are reviewed here: sociologic-historical considerations, functionalist-positivist theories and conflict-poststructuralist theories. It is argued that functionalist-positivist theories have influenced empirical studies and various ideas that shape integration policies, with an excessive reliance on the physical proximity between different social groups. Finally, in order to understand spatial transformations, beyond structuralist and naturalist views of segregation, the idea of socio- spatial dialectics and the Right-to-the- City program are taken to relocate integration as a critical and progressive claim. La segregación residencial es para algunos un fenómeno natural, y para otros un problema estructuralmente determinado. En cambio, la integración se ha vuelto un objetivo neoliberal o una aproximación voluntarista. Aquí se revisan varias explicaciones de la segregación: consideraciones sociológico-históricas, teorías funcionalistas-positivistas y teorías de conflicto-postestructuralistas. Se afirma que las teorías funcionalistas-positivistas han influenciado los estudios empíricos y varias ideas que modelan las políticas de integración, con una excesiva confianza en la proximidad física entre diferentes grupos sociales. Finalmente, para entender las transformaciones espaciales más allá de las visiones estructuralistas y naturalistas de la segregación, se toma la idea de dialéctica socio-espacial y el programa del Derecho a la Ciudad para relocalizar la integración como una demanda crítica y progresista.
