Why do these conflicts arise in some local and regional contexts and not in others? How are social environmental movements constructed and sustained? And what are the alternatives? These are the questions that this book seeks to address. It is organized into three parts. The first provides a panoramic view of social environmental conflicts in Mexico and of alternatives that are being constructed from below in rural areas. It also provides an analysis of the recent reforms to open the country's energy sector to private and foreign investment. The second is comprised of local-level case studies of conflict (and no conflict) in diverse geographic locations and cultural settings, particularly in relation to the construction of wind farms, hydraulic infrastructure, industrial water pollution, and groundwater overdraft. The third explores alternatives from belowin the form of community-based ecotourism and traditional mezcal production. A concluding chapter engages comparative and global analysis. 410 0$aEnvironmental Politics and Theory,$x2731-6718 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a304.20972 702 $aTetreault$b Darcy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMcCulligh$b Cindy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLucio$b Carlos$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300506803321 996 $aSocial Environmental Conflicts in Mexico$92268354 997 $aUNINA
