Resumen
GASPARELLO, Giovanna. Megaprojects in consultation: rights or simulations? Experiences in Mexico. LiminaR [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.124-141. Epub 10-Dic-2020. ISSN 2007-8900. https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v18i2.762.
For decades, governments and companies have forced through extractive and infrastructure megaprojects, undermining the priorities of people living in the affected territories. Currently, legislation exists that protects indigenous people’s right to prior, free, and informed consultation. The objective of this article is to discuss opportunities and risks of consultations held with indigenous peoples, based on the observation and analysis of some paradigmatic cases in Mexico. Among the most recent are the Mayan Train and the Trans-Isthmus Corridor.
