As the incipient Mexican democracy unfolds, governance and institutional challenges emerge accordingly to attend with efficacy the subjects posted by the unparalleled current environmental crisis. A crucial part is the creation and adaptation of institutions that have as mandate to answer to the complex environmental conjuncture. However, the institutionalization process is still struggling to achieve a strong foundation, particularly the federal government that plays a decisive role in that regard. To better understand the dynamics of public management and policies with respect to environmental conservation and natural resource governance in Mexico, a detailed examination of the public service officers’ trajectories during the last three decades is presented, advancing an original analysis-including an index-to characterize the institutional arrangements and recognize the factors driving it. The results add elements for a reflection on Mexican governance, ideally, to improve the development of environmental institutions and its tangible results.
