Summary
A restrictive and centralized approach to managing UNESCO World Heritage Sites by the Mexican State has been identified, particularly in the case of Monte Albán. This study reveals that governmental actions are highly concentrated, with a regulatory framework that excludes local agents, neglects budgetary needs, suffers from inter-institutional de-coordination, and lacks policy continuity. The research employs a theoretical approach centered on State Capacity policies to empirically analyze these dynamics, highlighting the need for further epistemological construction regarding state capacities in transversal and horizontal World Heritage Site matters.
