Abstract
This chapter addresses the question of environmental policy during the transition, and focuses on the specific issues of deforestation, water resources and pesticides. It argues that despite some progressive legislation, the environment remained largely neglected by the RodrÃguez government. This lack of government commitment was due primarily to the influence of powerful interest groups opposed to the radical reforms necessary to protect the environment.
