Item type:Publication, Territory in conflict: land dispossession, water grabbing and mobilization for environmental justice in southern Spain(Routledge, 2021-01-01)This paper analyses the socio-territorial conflict prompted by Los Merinos: a residential–tourism project constructed in an ecological reserve that is vital to Andalusian livelihoods. It examines disputes concerning discourses, authorities and rules in order to understand the struggle over land and water. Using the echelons of rights analysis (ERA) framework, the paper scrutinizes the multiscale forces and strategies adopted by business and opposing movement networks in order to shape territory, thereby engaging local and supra-local governments. The authors’ political–ecology lens on environmental justice and territorialization enhances the understanding of the relevance of social movements in contesting the misappropriation of socio-natural environments. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Between the environment and the economy: Foreign investments, global conservation, and Indigenous nations in the Amazon(Routledge, 2022-01-01)Where is the communities’ voice when their territories are intervened by either extractive projects advanced by transnational corporations or environmental initiatives advanced by global conservation actors? These actors allege that their projects deeply engage with sustainable development, in practice, however, national policies and governmental actions over the forests tend to prioritizing the environmental or the economic angle of sustainability, obscuring the political aspirations of Indigenous nations. By analysing these interventions in the Peruvian Amazon, this paper explores how Indigenous peoples’ political agency is located between these two global forces. Nonetheless, by using the discourse and standards of internationally recognized indigenous rights, they fight for the recognition of their nationhood and territorial entitlements as well as for their self-determination to engage with economic and environmental agendas from their own worldviews. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Paisaje hídrico y ciclos hidrosociales Ichsma e Inca en el valle bajo del Rímac del 900/1000 d. C. al 1532 d. C.(2024-03-27)From the perspective of political ecology this article analyzes the hydraulic landscape during the Ichsma presence (900/1000 – circa 1400 AD) to the Inca influence (circa 1450 to 1532 AD) in the lower Rimac Valley of the central Peruvian coast. Methodologies such as Geographic Information System (GIS), aerial and historical maps were used to obtain terrain modeling with the purpose of identifying the courses and growth of the canals, the Least-Cost Path of water and calculating the irrigation area in these two periods. These data allowed us to identify the hydraulic landscape formed by hydrosocial cycles in order to understand the water governance of the Ichsma curacazgos and the successive Inca occupation of the right bank of the lower Rímac valley. It is also observed that the hydraulic dynamics of these long and wide dendritic canals reflect complex heterarchical sociopolitical relations that allowed Ichsma curacazgos had autonomous water management and extensive negotiations among them. Later, under Inca occupation in the valley, the same water technology continued, but other water regulatory principles were used marking hydrosocial cycles that benefited the water governance of the empire and their allied curacazgos. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Flow/Fund Theory and Rural Livelihoods(Springer International Publishing, 2023-01-01)The concept of social metabolism and its relation with ecological distribution conflicts is a key theme in the work of Joan Martinez-Alier and the Barcelona school. It creates a bridge between the fields of ecological economics and political ecology. Following Georgescu-Roegen’s fund-flow theory of economic production, the present chapter has the objective to illustrate with a case study at the commodity frontier of the Andes-Amazon region in Peru, the relation between material flows and ecological distribution conflicts. The systemic and participatory approaches we have adopted can facilitate the prevention of social conflicts. Decision-makers should be aware of different perspectives hold by diverse social groups and their relation with the biophysical reality, and acknowledging them as part of social metabolism studies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ‘Just Transition’ in the Global South: Mission Impossible? The Perils of the Transition in Mexico and Ecuador(Mattersburger Kreis fur Entwicklungspolitik, 2023-01-01)Historically, ‘just transition’ speaks to concerns of workers of ‘dirty industries’ in the Global North in the light of environmental regulations and (possible) impacts on their working conditions and job positions. Increasingly, the concept is used to highlight issues of social justice in transitions to a low-carbon economy based on renewable energy sources. Focusing on the juncture triggered by the current climate change-driven stage of global capitalism, we emphasise the tension that arises between the notions of ‘national development’, ‘global sustainability’, and a ‘just transition’, and argue that current transition politics and pathways tend to (re)produce extractivist and rentier logics as well as socioecological conflicts in the Global South. We illustrate our argument by delving into the political economy and political ecology of contemporary Mexico and Ecuador, where we also identify the perils of following transition pathways that limit a ‘just transition’.
