VARGAS PAREDES, Saúl. Policy networks and Organizational Change in Mexican Forestry Policy. Gest. polít. pública [online]. 2008, vol.17, n.1, pp.101-144. ISSN 1405-1079.

This paper examines the importance of policy networks, by analyzing two case-studies, chosen by their international importance and their similarities in social and economic terms: The Forest Pilot Plan (PPF, by its initial in Spanish) and the Biosphere Calakmul Reserve (RBC). The core hypothesis is that both the structure of policy-network (coordination and degree of relevance of each policy actor) and the efficiency of strategies -rather the social participation, as usually argued by the majority of works on forestry policies- were the key factors, which influenced the policy process and its subsequent initial policy-outcome.
