%X theoretical identification of research approaches and academic formation with a political ecology perspective is becoming more frequent every time in mexico. this upsurge of political ecology, as a discipline and theoretical framework, is quite encouraging for those who analyze environmental change from a social and political perspective. notwithstanding, we consider that a thorough review of this discipline's development in mexico is necessary in order to delimit its field of inquiry and to avoid its generalization and simplification. in this study we offer a synthetic account of the origin and evolution of political ecology and its main theoretical approaches. we also present a general historical review of research efforts devoted to analyze environmental change from a social perspective in mexico; lastly, we discuss the traits that characterize mexican political ecology, its main lines of research, and their relevance in mexico's environmental scenario. given the high diversity and quantity of mexico's socio-environmental studies, this work should be considered a preliminary characterization and history of political ecology in mexico that may be useful as a basis for a further and more complete analysis about this discipline development.
