Abstract

KAUFFER, Edith. An Analysis of Multilevel Governance in the Transboundary Waters of Mexico with Guatemala and Belize. Frontera norte [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.60, pp.31-56. ISSN 2594-0260.  https://doi.org/10.17428/rfn.v30i60.1114.

Mexican transboundary water dynamics involving settings shared with Guatemala and Belize have seldom-studied realities. This article approaches these dynamics from two perspectives. The first centers on the role of Mexican state institutions, that is, the legal framework and the governmental structure, which shows a water policy that does not take into account the omnipresence and abundance of transboundary water resources. This situation involves a series of institutional omissions, but at the same time allows a look to be taken at multilevel water governance on different scales that makes it possible to outline a second analytical perspective, albeit one still in process.

Keywords : Guatemala; Belize; institutions; transboundary waters; multilevel governance.
