Abstract
En este texto se reflexiona en torno a la interacción que existe entre gobernanza y gobernabilidad. Al emerger la gobernanza como un aspecto que deriva desde la gobernabilidad –como una profundización y externalización de esta–, señalamos que la gobernanza necesita para su construcción la acción de los sujetos y las instituciones, las mismas que lo constituían previamente. La idea central es mostrar la posibilidad de establecer una reflexión política de la gobernanza a través de la discusión geográfica sobre el territorio. En ese sentido, lo que va transformándose son las relaciones que se establecen entre estos agentes y por lo tanto ahí debiese radicar su especificidad y, por lo tanto, la contradicción entre gobernabilidad y gobernanza debiese estar situada en quienes la ejecutan, así como en las estructuras que emergen de dicha acción. El caso de la gobernanza ambiental nos permite observar que el problema radica en las tensiones entre la gobernanza y los sistemas políticos, así como identificar la especificidad de los agentes involucrados en su funcionamiento. En definitiva, se sostiene que la gobernanza se construye a partir de las experiencias de diferenciación de la gobernabilidad, lo que se logra a través de un análisis territorial, de su materialización a través de los diversos procesos que territorializan las prácticas sociales.
This text reflects on the interaction that exists between governance and governability. When governance emerges as an aspect that derives from governability –as a deepening and externalization of this–, we point out that governance needs, for its construction, the action of subjects and institutions, the same ones that previously constituted it. The central idea is to show the possibility of establishing a political reflection on governance through the geographical discussion on the territory. In this sense, what is transforming are the relationships that are established between these agents and therefore there should lie their specificity and therefore, the contradiction between governability and governance should be located in those who execute it, as well as in the structures that emerge from said action. The case of environmental governance allows us to observe that the problem lies in the tensions between governance and political systems, as well as to identify the specificity of the agents involved in their operation. In short, it is argued that governance is built from experiences of differentiation of governance, which is achieved through a territorial analysis, its materialization through the various processes that territorialize social practices.
