QUINTANA, Roberto Diego. Government Policy vs. Public Policy: Avatars for the Wind Farms on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Prob. Des [online]. 2018, vol.49, n.194, pp.91-117. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2018.194.61586.

The government of Mexico has encouraged the establishment of wind farms, arguing that they are a form of clean energy (partially true). The government’s implementation strategy has favored transnational corporations over the original communities, who are losing control of their territories, which these companies have occupied, engendering ecological, social, political, and cultural damage. On the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a significant portion of the original population has organized to resist and reverse this process, calling for an inclusive and participatory public policy.

Palavras-chave : Isthmus of Tehuantepec; wind farms; electrical power; transnational companies; public policy.
