description The Marlin mine’s case opens a discussion about its relevance in Guatemalan context. From the perspective of the state, the mining activity has an important contribution to the national economy and the communities where the enterprise is located. However, the Marlin mine has been an important focus in socio-environmental conflicts, especiallybecause it has generated more problems than solutions. This paper shows how the benefits and costs are distributed between the enterprise-Marlin mine, the State and the communities where the enterprise is established, from the perspective of environmental justice. It is concluded that high enterprise profits are possible only because the State and local communities assume social, economic and environmental costs.

Desde la perspectiva del Estado la actividad se considera un importante aporte a la economía del país y a las comunidades donde se ubica la explotación; sin embargo, la experiencia de Marlin ha sido un importante foco de conflictividad socioambiental, especialmente porque la actividad ha generado más problemas que soluciones. El presente artículo muestra cómo se distribuyen los costos y beneficios (derivados de la explotación de la mina Marlin) entre la empresa, el Estado y las comunidades donde se establece la mina, utilizando para el análisis la perspectiva de la justicia ambiental. Se concluye que para que la empresa mantenga las ganancias actuales, debe trasladar los costos sociales, económicos y ambientales al país y a las comunidades locales. FLACSO Ecuador2013-09-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.flacsoandes.edu.ec/letrasverdes/article/view/100010.17141/letrasverdes.14.2013.1000Letras Verdes.
