{"title":"Introduction: Contesting Control: Indigenous Strategies towards Territorial Governance in Lowland South America","authors":"Evan Killick, Juan Pablo Sarmiento Barletti","doi":"10.1111/blar.13551","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/blar.13551","url":null,"abstract":"<p>After centuries of conflict and political struggles over land and resources across Lowland South America, recent decades have shown an expansion of the rights of Indigenous Peoples to determine their own futures and manage their territories (Monterroso et al., <span>2017</span>; Palacios Llaque and Sarmiento Barletti, <span>2021</span>). This shift is the result of decades of the deployment of strategies undertaken by Indigenous Peoples and their allies to overcome histories of displacement, marginalisation and exploitation by settler societies. These processes of dispossession and resistance have been driven by different actors laying different claims on Indigenous territories in a contradictory process that involves the expansion of the extractive frontier in the region – ranging from hydrocarbon extraction to agroindustrial development – and of initiatives to conserve the biodiversity of the region, including various kinds of protected areas and carbon projects (Álvarez, <span>2012</span>; Larsen, <span>2015</span>). Conflicts have been noted to arise over the management and use of the area's natural resources and how nature and the environment are constructed, but also over the imposition of different forms of governance over the region (Merino Acuña, <span>2015</span>). The relative success of Indigenous strategies in these contexts has long been of academic concern, highlighting the work of Indigenous organisations and social networks (e.g. Jackson and Warren, <span>2005</span>; Yashar, <span>2005</span>).</p><p>However, less attention has been placed on the different ways in which Indigenous communities and their representative organisations engage the legal frameworks for territorial governance, rights recognition and tenure regimes, often through mixed and at times seemingly contradictory strategies of conflict and collaboration, and of the manner in which these strategies interact with Indigenous cosmologies, preferred forms of social relations and notions of living well. This focus is important to avoid presenting the government as a monolithic entity – considering that its different agencies tend to have different agendas in relation to Indigenous Peoples and that environmental governance is multi-level – as well as generalising the different strategies deployed by communities and their organisations in their engagements with government actors.</p><p>Based on long-term fieldwork with Indigenous communities, the four articles in this special section give insight into the different actions and impacts of the region's national governments on their Indigenous citizens. The articles engage with the different ways in which Indigenous Peoples conceptualise these relations and attempt to counteract historical forms of domination and control through different, changing and at times seemingly contradictory strategies within a continuum of resistance and collaboration. The articles reflect the fact that just as the government and its agencies","PeriodicalId":9338,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Latin American Research","volume":"43 2","pages":"101-103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/blar.13551","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140552961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
