ESPINOSA HERNANDEZ, Rolando. Socio-environmental Conflicts and Poverty: The Case of the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.1, pp.193-201. ISSN 0121-215X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcdg.v24n1.41971.

This paper discusses the link between social and environmental precarization processes and the emergence of socio-environmental conflicts in urban areas. On the basis of the classic geographical scale problem, it debates the alleged dilemma between anti-environmentalism and environmentalism of the poor. The argument concludes with an example, the case of Mexico City, in order to formulate the relevance of the concept of socio-environmental conflict for the development of a critical geography of conflict.

Palabras clave : Mexico City; socioenvironmental conflict; environmental degradation; environmentalism of the poor; poverty.
