Abstract
Mexican environmental policy was established during the 1980's and 1990's, went through the stage of neoliberal reforms in the economy, and moved progressively towards operating forms through which it integrated into the global environmental market. However, the regional scale of the environmental crisis is the specific place where the players of the environmental market interact with one another. In the case of Mexico, there are clearly differentiated scenarios that are described so as to illustrate the complexity of this phenomenon which characterizes globalization: its global and local significance. Besides being a theoretical question, my proposal is that a policy aimed at solving the environmental crisis must take into account what I call "geographic knowledge", that is to say, the social and economic situation where the environmental crisis takes place geographically.
