Dr Valeria Guarneros-Meza presents in CURA’s final seminar of 2019:
“Unpicking municipal governance in mining policy in Mexico”
Date and time
Wednesday 4 December 2019, 2-3pm
Venue
Hugh Aston Building HU5.12, DeMontfort University
Abstract
The presentation summarises the findings of the British Academy funded research “Conversing with Goliath” which assesses the relationship between citizen participation and extractivism in Mexico. Drawing on the findings, Valeria will outline different scenarios that work as gateways to examine and uncover municipal governance within mining. Focusing on the scenario of disasters caused by mining, the presentation will provide a very first attempt at building a conceptual framework that interweaves debates on municipalism and local public value.
