PESCHARD MARISCAL, Jacqueline; SALAZAR REBOLLEDO, María Grisel  y  OLEA GOMEZ, Octavio Augusto. What We Know So Far about Oil Theft in Mexico: Chiaroscuros of a Persistent Crime. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.241, pp.245-280.  Epub 19-Mar-2021. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2020.241.75273.

This article aims to analyze the quality of information on oil theft in Mexico, in two aspects: public data regarding the evolution and distribution of the phenomenon and public data concerning state actions to combat oil theft. To achieve this goal, three different sources are used:1) proactive transparency portals of governmental institutions involved in this public problem,2) answers granted to information requests issued between 2006 and 2018, and lastly,3) the answers to the requests made by the authors of this article. Despite the public relevance of the problem and the fact that it has even been part of the new administration’s agenda from the start, information remains dispersed and fragmented. Transparency efforts on this issue are still insufficient to generate an informed debate or a citizen evaluation of the governmental actions to face it.

Palabras llave : access to information; transparency policies; oil theft.
