Análisis del marco legal y los procedimientos administrativos de la minería de primera categoría en la provincia de Río Negro hasta el año 2023

Abstract

This paper focuses on examining the legal regulations and administrative procedures related to first-category mining in the Province of Río Negro. An exhaustive analysis of the regulatory framework at both national and provincial levels, as well as the administrative procedures inherent to the mining sector, has been conducted. The primary objective is to evaluate the suitability of these instruments for fostering sustainable development of first-category mining in the region. To achieve this, a comparison has also been made with the Province of Salta, which has extensive experience in the mining sector. From the analysis, recommendations have emerged that could be used in the creation of public policies to enhance the sustainable development of first-category mining activity in the province. The thesis is structured into six parts. The first chapter addresses theoretical and methodological issues. The second chapter describes the different levels of historical, geological, and economic context of the province of Río Negro. The third chapter focuses on the legal framework, analyzing both national and provincial regulations. The fourth chapter discusses the administrative procedures. The fifth chapter encompasses the analysis, comments, and preliminary conclusions. Finally, the sixth chapter presents the conclusions and recommendations derived from the research.
