This paper traces the evolution of mining law in Mexico, including the most recent round of reform, and discusses the social and environmental impacts of mining in the region of Soconusco in the state of Chiapas. A set of mining reforms that passed between 2013 and 2014 provided the necessary impetus for a rise in mining investments in Mexico.

Además, estas comunidades deben ser consultadas sobre cómo se gastarán los fondos. A medida que se hacen las fortunas, los resultados han fracasado en lo que respecta a la protección del medio ambiente y las necesidades de las comunidades.... view less
