Abstract

Abstract Indigenous organizations, international actors, and national authorities portray different images of Indigenous Peoples’ relationship with the natural environment. Based on these images, these actors deploy ecological, economic, and security arguments to create or transform protected areas. By exploring three cases of conflicts over creation and management of protected areas in the Peruvian Amazon, this article maps the tensions around the different images and explores how Indigenous organizations and state authorities—backed by international actors—engage with security, economic, and ecological rationales from their own sovereignty standpoint. I argue that the state weakens Indigenous political aspiration of sovereign territorial control by translating this agenda into depoliticized mechanisms and assumptions of modern international environmentalism, which ultimately limits their capacity to truly contribute to conservation goals. A “nation-building” approach to conservation, by conceiving Indigenous Nations as sovereign partners in environmental management, might give legitimacy to environmental initiatives.
主权冲突:秘鲁亚马逊地区的全球保护、保护区和土著民族
摘要土著组织、国际行动者和国家当局描绘了土著人民与自然环境关系的不同形象。基于这些图像,这些行动者运用生态、经济和安全论点来创建或改造保护区。通过探讨秘鲁亚马逊保护区创建和管理方面的三起冲突案例,本文描绘了不同图像周围的紧张局势,并探讨了在国际行为者的支持下,土著组织和国家当局如何从自身主权的角度处理安全、经济和生态方面的理由。我认为,国家通过将这一议程转化为现代国际环保主义的非政治化机制和假设,削弱了土著人对主权领土控制的政治愿望,这最终限制了他们真正为保护目标做出贡献的能力。通过将土著民族视为环境管理的主权伙伴,采取“国家建设”的保护方法,可能会使环境倡议具有合法性。
