Item type:Publication, Forest as ‘nature’ or forest as territory? Knowledge, power, and climate change conservation in the Peruvian Amazon(Taylor & Francis, 2022-10-30)This paper examines the implications of climate crisis governance for rural communities in the Amazon of Peru. It draws the attention to the shared political economy behind the resistance of diverse rural populations particularly, Indigenous and Colono communities. Based on an analysis of two local conservation interventions in the region of San Martín—one involving indigenous communities and the other peasant settlers—this study argues that narrow authorized knowledge obscures the wider historical and agrarian macro context of uneven institutional and ecological arrangements that lead to the reproduction of injustices related to the land, the underlying causes of deforestation, and the authoritarian relationships of these local communities with the state. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Corrupting Climate Change Institutions from the Inside: Systemic Collusion in the Peruvian Forest Governance(Elsevier BV, 2023-11-28)This article aims to contribute to the literature on natural resource corruption by analyzing the subnational political economy behind the little enforcement of anticorruption policies. Building on the political ecology approach to corruption, this article focuses on how economic and political interest colludes in a hybrid or ambivalent system that reproduces over and over corrupt practices. Zooming on the subnational case of Ucayali, we find four main factors contributing to understanding the poor enforcement of subnational governments of new forest regulations to reduce deforestation. The first one is infrastructural capacity, which is essential to understand the issue at hand, but it alone is insufficient to comprehend the systemic corruption in the forest sector. A second factor is the decentralization process and the subnational political economy. Our analysis shows the importance of economic and political dynamics at the subnational level in shaping national anti-corruption and deforestation reforms. A third element to consider is the divergent perspectives on the development of the Amazon. While in Peru, the environmental sector has witnessed significant growth at the national level, it still holds limited political influence. Conversely, positions advocating for economic activities that adversely impact the Amazon forest, such as extensive agriculture, exert more control over the region. A fourth factor is the historical marginalization of indigenous groups, who can serve as valuable allies in driving reforms. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Crystallizing Territorial Visions and Claims: Critical Mapping with Amazonian Kichwa Communities in Climate Change Politics(2025-09-03)Over the past decade, Kichwa communities in San Martín, Peru, have faced growing tensions with environmental authorities over conservation and climate policies affecting forest access and use. Through a participatory action research project, we co-created a collaborative mapping methodology to document Indigenous visions on these transformations. This paper examines how critical mapping—integrating hand-drawn maps, storytelling, timelines, and digitalization—crystallizes Indigenous territoriality, enabling both internal reflection on territorial struggles and claims-making. Rather than being merely a response to imposed environmental governance, mapping becomes a practice that generates Indigenous agency and territorial autonomy. By enabling communities to represent their landscapes, history, and rights on their own terms, critical mapping becomes a powerful tool for grassroots political action.2
