Perez (2019) in his article, suggested that, when studies linked to environmental
policies are carried out, they have not been recurrently considering the analysis
of socio-environmental conflicts. In this line, although it is correct that states
strengthen the normative part and the processes of solving socio-environmental
problems, it is not responsible to neglect the escalation of social conflicts, which
in the long run will bring problems to the State itself. Also, Arizaca (2017),
indicated in his article that, in order to strengthen the sustainability of natural
resource exploitation activities, they depend on the efficiency of their institutional
units that cover the relationship between mining, land, water and population.
Maillet & Albalá (2018), in their article, raised a substantiated question, related to
the consequences of conflicts and factors related to socio-environmental conflicts
in electricity projects in Chile. Medrano et al. (2019) in their article about
corporate social responsibility in the relationship between peasant communities
and mining companies, recommended engaging mining companies and the
community in strategic alliances with a projection of sustained development,
where the protagonists obtain benefits, i.e., this link should generate value
beyond the life of the extractive operation itself. Likewise, Alvarado (2017) in
their article, concluded that the historical analysis of the results of policies seeking
an economy independent of its natural resources should serve to maintain the
need for political changes in favor of a new type of governance between the
governmental and the local. Toledo (2019) in his journal article related to the
shared responsibility between government, mining conglomerates and
communities, implies that the idea of an efficient functioning of state entities also
gives access to governance in the country. Likewise, Massa-Sánchez et al. (2018),
in their article related to the large mining sector and social conflicts, in Ecuador,
analyzed the degree of relationship between the mining legal part with
megaprojects, taking as a type case the Mirador project. Pinto & Luyo (2018), in
their article in which they focused their analysis of what happened in the context
of the Las Bambas mining megaproject and which escalated into a social conflict
with serious repercussions in 2015. The article tried to show that the petitions of
the population were supported by objective motivations because the inconsistent
changes made in the environmental impact studies that were executed by the
Chinese corporation (MMG), were fundamental, since they will harm related
areas both directly and indirectly. Also, Aparicio (2017), who had as an objective
in his doctoral thesis "to determine the influence of corporate social responsibility
in the prevention of mining social conflict case Las Bambas 2014".
In this sense, by having an efficient management of socio-environmental conflicts,
which determines a starting point to achieve economic development in the
communities or populations involved, it is necessary to carry out an analytical
