Resumen:
Mexico has 4,111 islands, keys and reefs off its coasts in the Pacific
and Atlantic oceans. Even though this insular territory is covered in
federal, state, and municipal policies, some legal and environmental
ambiguities, and the lack of social integration of the island
populations, have resulted in heavily accentuated insularity for its
inhabitants.
This article carries out a general survey of the insular territory of
Mexico and addresses representative cases (Cedros Island, islands in the
Gulf of California, the Mary Islands, Cozumel and Isla Mujeres) to
indicate possible goals of proposals for the integration of this
territory and its populations in terms of common legislation to improve
the conditions arising from insularity. Besides, this article will
examine successful international cases in archipelagos such as the
Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) and the Canary Islands (Spain), whose legal
frameworks for the management of insularity take into account
geographical perspectives.
