This book is open access under a CC-BY license. The multiple
purposes of nature - livelihood for communities, revenues for
states, commodities for companies, and biodiversity for
conservationists - have turned environmental governance in Latin
America into a highly contested arena. In such a resource-rich
region, unequal power relations, conflicting priorities, and
trade-offs among multiple goals have led to a myriad of contrasting
initiatives that are reshaping social relations and rural
territories. This edited collection addresses these tensions by
unpacking environmental governance as a complex process of
formulating and contesting values, procedures and practices shaping
the access, control and use of natural resources. Contributors from
various fields address the challenges, limitations, and
possibilities for a more sustainable, equal, and fair development.
In this book, environmental governance is seen as an overarching
concept defining the dynamic and multi-layered repertoire of
society-nature interactions, where images of nature and discourses
on the use of natural resources are mediated by contextual
processes at multiple scales.
