Abstract

Starting from a qualitative research, using the analytical framework of the public policy regime to analyze three variables: the actors, the institutions and the ideas, to know the interaction of the participating actors around water management in the city of San Miguel de Allende, the perception frameworks, the government institutions that intervene in water management were analyzed. As a methodological strategy, in-depth interviews were conducted and the institutional grammar methodology was implemented for. A soft regulation was found, an institutional framework that does not favor a robust governance, in addition, the conflicts that arise due to the supply of water in the city do not get to position themselves on the political agenda due to a dispersion of environmental issues and lack of mechanisms for citizen participation.
