BRENNER, Ludger y VARGAS DEL RIO, David. Governability and environmental governance in Mexico: The experience of the Biosphere Reserve Sian Ka'an. Polis [online]. 2010, vol.6, n.2, pp.115-154. ISSN 2594-0686.
This article follows an ecological and political approach based on the Sian Ka'n Biosphere Reserve, to analyze the increasing social complexity that has hampered governability and prevented the establishment of effective and socially balanced environmental governance. After setting up the conceptual framework, the governability challenges faced by this natural protected area are analyzed in chronological order and different spatial levels. Emphasis is appointed to conflicts, confronted interests y specific actions taken by the social actors involved. Furthermore, the effectiveness of means taken to ensure participative environment governance and governability of this natural area is evaluated. The necessary information and data was obtained from transcribed an analyzed qualitative interviews to the actors involved preformed from April 2006 to August 2007. This study concludes that there are still no structures and mechanisms capable of conciliating the conflict between the actors. Therefore, these social actors continue to strife individually to impose their own interests; and so, the contradictions and inertias related to social organization continue to greatly hamper Mexico's environmental governance.
