Capital investment in natural resource extraction has fuelled an unprecedented rush to secure hydrocarbon and mining concessions and contracts throughout the Andes-Amazon-Chaco region leading to increased tensions and conflict with lowland indigenous groups residing in the areas that contain subsoil resources. This thesis explores resource extraction and conflict through an ethnography of state-society interactions over proposed hydrocarbon extraction in Bolivia. It asks, how does a “post-neoliberal state” combine commitments to indigenous people, the environment and the redistributive development of natural resource wealth, and how do social movements and other actors respond? In answering this question, the thesis examines how hydrocarbon expansion has affected the country’s most important gas producing region (the Department of Tarija), indigenous Guaraní society and indigenous Weenhayek society, both in their internal relationships and in their historically uneasy negotiations with the central state. By paying particular attention to the Guaraní and Weenhayek it also asks how far a national “government of social movements” has favoured or not the concerns and political projects of indigenous groups that are generally not well represented in the social movements that undergird this new state. In this vein, this research seeks to shed light on a series of contradictions and incongruities that characterise extractive-led economies with an end to contributing to debates about the possibility of combining more socially and environmentally sound modes of production, new forms of democracy, self governance and popular participation.

Porém, o modelo que se tornou dominante parte de uma visão de natureza oriunda da dicotomia entre sociedade e meio ambiente. Os processos de criação de áreas naturais protegidas no mundo, especialmente a partir do final do século XIX, têm ocasionado inúmeros conflitos entre os diferentes sujeitos que possuem visões e interesses diversos sobre a natureza e seus recursos, além de gerar situações de injustiças ambientais às populações impactadas pela criação desses espaços. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa buscou realizar uma análise sobre a relação entre as áreas naturais protegidas, em especial a tipologia Unidade de Conservação, e a ocorrência de conflitos socioambientais e de injustiça ambiental. Tomando como ferramenta de análise a categoria geográfica do território, além das perspectivas críticas da Ecologia Política, da Justiça Ambiental e do Ecossocialismo, buscou-se realizar um estudo de caso da comunidade do Patrimônio da Penha, situada a cerca de um quilômetro do Parque Nacional do Caparaó, no município de Divino de São Lourenço – ES. Através da realização de revisão bibliográfica e, também, de observações e entrevistas com os moradores locais e os funcionários do parque, buscou-se averiguar as diferentes ocorrências de conflitos socioambientais, além de situações de injustiça ambiental que acometem as populações residentes no Patrimônio. Evidenciou-se, assim, que os conflitos socioambientais podem se manifestar em diferentes categorias e intensidades. Em relação ao Patrimônio da Penha, foi possível perceber que ocorrem os chamados conflitos socioambientais latentes, sendo estes caracterizados como situações em que os embates são, por vezes, camuflados pelos mecanismos sociopolíticos que vigoram sobre os territórios, não sendo notados pelos sujeitos envolvidos nos embates como situações de conflito. Notou-se, ainda, que estes conflitos foram diretamente influenciados pela presença do ParNa Caparaó na região, tendo o mesmo influenciado também nas situações de injustiça ambiental que puderam ser observadas sobre esse espaço. / Protected areas are one of the most common environmental policies around the world. Nevertheless, this model has been proposed based on a dichotomy between society and the environment. The definition of protected areas, particularly after the XIXth century, has resulted in various conflicts among agents with divergent understanding on nature and interests on natural resources. Moreover, such processes have also created situations of environmental injustice, since they prevent the access of specific social groups to resources that are crucial for their survival. Along these lines, this research aimed at analysing the relationship between protected areas, particularly Conservation Areas, socio-environmental conflicts and environmental injustices. Using the geographic category territory, and adopting critical perspectives such as Political Ecology, Environmental Justice and Ecosocialism, this case study evaluates the relationships between various actors around the Caparaó National Park, in Divino de São Lourenço municipality, Espírito Santo state. Using literature review, direct observation and interviews, the research evaluates the characteristics of the various socioenvironmental conflicts and environmental injustice situations that take place in that locality. During the research, it was possible to verify that socioenvironmental conflicts happen in various categories and intensity. Patrimônio da Penha is characterised by latent socioenvironmental conflicts, which are described as situations where disputes are masked by socio-political processes and not perceived by social agents. Additionally, it was noted that most of these conflicts have been directly influenced by the Caparaó National Park, as well as, diferent environmental injustice situations.

Memoria para optar al título de Geógrafo / En la comuna de El Quisco en la Región de Valparaíso, como en la mayoría de las comunas del país, no son ajenas las complicaciones que conlleva la gestión de los residuos, dichas complicaciones radican en el problema del florecimiento de microbasurales en diversos sectores del territorio comunal, que poseen ciertas características geográficas, sociales o sectoriales que pueden explicar su localización mediante el uso de los SIG. Sin embargo, la situación de los microbasurales no solo tienen explicaciones de su generación, sino que también suelen generar conflictos en la comunidad, el sector público y sectorialmente, como sucede con el turismo, principalmente en épocas estivales. Estos conflictos suelen expresarse de diversas formas y en distintas plataformas, pero tienden a invisibilizarse producto de la normalidad y de la cotidianeidad que estos han adquirido a través de los años y de la poca cultura ambiental que posee gran parte de la población nacional. De acuerdo a la ubicación, al tamaño, y a la población que habita los lugares donde se producen, algunos casos pueden generar tal cantidad de problemas graves, que se puede hablar de los microbasurales como generadores de un conflicto socioambiental. / In the commune of El Quisco in the Región de Valparaíso, as in most of the country's municipalities, are no stranger, the complications that involves the management of waste, this complications lies in the problem of the flowering of illegal dumping of waste in various sectors of the communal territory. Geography, social or sectoral networks can explain their location through the use of GIS. However, the situation of the illegal dumping of waste not only have explanations of their generation, but also often generate conflicts in the community, the public sector and sectorally, as it happens with tourism, mainly in the summer. These conflicts are usually a way of expressing the different forms and different platforms, but also a product of normality and everyday life that has been acquired over the years and the little environmental culture that has a large part of the national population. According to the location, the size, and the population that inhabits the places where they are produced, some cases can generate such amount of serious problems, that can talk about the fly-dumping as a socio-environmental conflict.

O histórico de criação das áreas protegidas no Estado de São Paulo acompanhou o movimento mundial de preservação da biodiversidade stricto sensu, em lugares ocupados por povos e comunidades tradicionais, causando inúmeros conflitos decorrentes de diversas naturezas. Se por um lado a implantação dessas áreas tolheu o modo de vida desses habitantes, por outro lado imputou novos usos e funções aos recursos naturais tradicionalmente utilizados para a reprodução socioeconômica e cultural. Os territórios tradicionais estão inseridos em áreas de grande fragilidade natural e dotados de riqueza histórico-cultural extremamente cobiçada pelo turismo hegemônico. O Parque Estadual de Ilhabela, localizado no litoral norte de São Paulo, incorporou no perímetro da área protegida, e em sua Zona de Amortecimento, os territórios tradicionais. As vilas caiçaras do Canto da Lagoa e do Canto do Ribeirão formam as comunidades tradicionais caiçaras da Praia de Castelhanos (leste da Ilha), cenário de uma série de conflitos pela disputa de territórios entre a comunidade tradicional, a unidade de conservação, o mercado de terras, a gestão municipal e, nos últimos 15 anos, pelo turismo. A disputa está centrada nos investidores externos se apropriando de recursos e espaços de uso comum do caiçara e que passam a serem comercializados com vistas ao desenvolvimento de gestão exógena. Por meio da análise dos documentos, da observação participante e da pesquisa-ação, o presente estudo apresenta as questões relacionadas ao turismo praticado que beneficia a propriedade individual por meio do uso dos recursos naturais na Praia de Castelhanos, controverso aos objetivos da função social dos bens comuns, e que têm levado a descaracterização da paisagem cultural do local. Por fim, verifica a possibilidade de desenvolvimento de caráter endógeno, pautado na valorização do saber-fazer com o Turismo de Base Comunitária (TBC) / The history of creation of protected areas in the State of São Paulo followed the global movement of biodiversity preservation stricto sensu, in places occupied by traditional populations, creating numerous conflicts of various kinds. If, on the one hand, implementing these areas has impaired these inhabitants lifestyle, on the other, it has attributed new usages and functions to the natural resources traditionally used for socio-economic and cultural reproduction. Traditional territories are inserted on areas of great natural fragility that are gifted with historical and cultural wealth, which are extremely coveted by the hegemonic tourism. The Ilhabela State Park, located in the northern coast of São Paulo, has incorporated within the protected area, and its surrounding areas, traditional territories. The caiçara villages Canto da Lagoa and Canto do Ribeirão compose the traditional caiçara communities in the Castelhanos Beach (east of the island), which are the scenario of a series of conflicts due to the dispute for territories among the traditional community, the conservation unit, the land market, the municipal administration and, in the last 15 years, by the tourism. The dispute is focused on the external investors taking on resources and places that were considered common goods by the caiçara people and that started to be marketed aiming at a development of external management. Through the analysis of documents, participant observation and action research, this study presents the issues related to the tourism exercised, which benefits individual property through the use of natural resources on the Castelhanos Beach and is opposed to the objectives of the social function of common goods, and which has led to the disfiguration of the local environments cultural landscape. Lastly, the study verifies the possibility of endogenous development, guided by the insertion of caiçara people along with the valuation of the traditional know-how through the Community-based Tourism

The government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have signed agreements heralding an era of “peace” for the country. While the end of the confrontation brings many opportunities, it also poses numerous challenges. This article argues that the most significant of these challenges is the potential for the conflict to merely transform into a socio-environmental conflict. Indeed, the mere signing of the peace agreements does not constitute a guarantee to prevent the escalation of conflict in some regions. To prevent this, the dynamics of dialogue and consensus evidenced in the negotiations that took place in Havana must be replicated at a local level in the territories that once were dominated by the FARC. Improved security conditions deriving from the ceasefire have shown propitious for the development of extractive activities in territories previously ridden by armed conflict. But while the dynamism of the mining and energy sector provides significant opportunity for economic development, it has coincided with the intensification of socio-environmental conflict in several regions of the country. If the government does not address these rising conflicts between multi-nationals and local populations, what is now fertile ground for peacebuilding could prove to be the beginning of a new form of long-lasting violent conflict. / El gobierno de Colombia y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) han suscrito los acuerdos que presagian una era de “paz” para el país. Si bien el fin del enfrentamiento armado trae consigo muchas oportunidades, plantea a su vez muchos retos. La firma de los acuerdos de paz no constituye una garantía para evitar la intensificación del conflicto en algunas regiones. Las dinámicas de diálogo y concertación de las mesas de negociación de La Habana deben replicarse en los territorios que otrora fueron dominados por las FARC si no se quiere incrementar el conflicto, particularmente el socioambiental. El mejoramiento de las condiciones de seguridad que derivan del cese al fuego entre ambos bandos se ha mostrado propicio para el desarrollo de actividades extractivas en territorios donde hasta hace poco estuvieron vedadas. El reciente dinamismo del sector minero energético coincide con el escalamiento del conflicto socioambiental en numerosos territorios del país. Ante esta situación, la promoción del desarrollo por el Estado colombiano constituye un complejo desafío en el contexto de construcción de la paz.
