MORENO ARRIBA, Jesús. Community management of natural resources, agrosilvopastoral and fisheries in the Sierra de Santa Marta, Veracruz, Mexico: a possible alternative to developmental discourse and capitalist globalization?. univ.humanist. [online]. 2013, n.75, pp.189-217. ISSN 0120-4807.

The experiments studied in Sierra de Santa Marta of Veracruz in Mexico, through the case-analysis Project Sierra de Santa Marta, PSSM, show how, starting from an "ecology of knowledge (Santos, 2009), the resources of the jungle have allowed different peasant and/ or indigenous communities to survive, avoiding, largely, to resort to emigration. From the theoretical positioning of this work, it would no longer be an alternative development model, but an alternative to development or a post-development
