LARA GONZALEZ, JOSÉ DAVID. DEVIATIONS OF THE 'ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT' FORMAL INSTRUMENT IN MEXICO. Luna Azul [online]. 2013, n.37, pp.239-267. ISSN 1909-2474.

This article tries to demonstrate some of the deficiencies of the Mexican legislation and certain tools of the same, particularly in the environmental area and in relation to the use of the legal instrument called Environmental Impact Statement (MIA). For this purpose, a proactive critical analysis of the application of the instrument of study in five cases of real expressive importance exercises was practiced. Some disruptions and limitations that the instrument might and has presented are submitted, as well as the role that capitalist interests and power groups can play; also the negative consequences of misapplication and bad preparation of the instrument are presented. It is concluded that there is still a clear distance that separates present Mexican legislation from the desirable environmental justice to pursue better fields and situations for sustainability linked to elements of relevant and humanized environmental education.

Palabras clave : Legislation; power groups; social conflict; environmental injustice; sustainability.
