TORRES-MAZUERA, Gabriela  y  RECONDO, David. Ejido and Community Assemblies in Southeastern Mexico: Contrasts in Participation and Collective Decision-Making on Wind Power Projects. Desacatos [online]. 2022, n.68, pp.12-29.  Epub 27-Feb-2026. ISSN 2448-5144.

In 2019, half of the national territory was social property. In this territory there are important attractive natural resources for private investment. Mostof the mega-projects in Mexico are developed in these communal lands, but entrepreneurs and governments promoting these projects must negotiate via the agrarian assemblies. Successful or unsuccessful attempts to implement wind farms on ejidal or communal lands in Oaxaca and Yucatan raise the following questions: what kind of participating institutions are the agrarian and community assemblies? To what extent do they allow for deliberation and consensus regarding megaprojects on socially owned lands?

Palabras llave : agrarian assemblies; community assemblies; wind farm; agrarian conflicts; indigenous consultation.
