Book excerpt: Ecuador's Yasuní National Park and Biosphere Reserve is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world; it is home to numerous species of wildlife, indigenous communities, and approximately $7.6 billion of crude oil. Oil extraction has led to patterns of environmental and social damage, situating the government of Ecuador between their responsibilities to uphold indigenous rights and preserve the environment while advancing the nation's economy. The field of conflict resolution offers applicable strategies to the issues facing this dilemma. However, these strategies have been sparsely used thus far. We suggest that the implementation of forums, workshops, and grievance mechanisms will improve communication between stakeholders and build trust that could alleviate the conflicts in the Yasuní

Book excerpt: The heart of the Amazon, the most biologically diverse forest on the planet which is also home to several indigenous tribes, sits on Ecuador's largest undeveloped oil reserves. The government of Ecuador has made an unprecedented proposal: Ecuador will not allow extraction of the oil fields if the world community can create a compensation trust to fund Ecuador's sustainable development into the future. Yasuni Green Gold documents and celebrates Ecuador's beauty and is a message to the world to close the region to the black gold of oil exploration.

Book Synopsis Sources of Negotiation Power in Environmental Conflicts by : Jamie Cerretti
Download or read book Sources of Negotiation Power in Environmental Conflicts written by Jamie Cerretti and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fieldwork in Ecuador included 22 interviews with community members, petroleum industry and government officials, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders. Data was analyzed using a coding scheme primarily based on Fisher's 1983 categorization of negotiating power. This study reveals some of the weaknesses in the negotiation process, including inadequate enforcement of existing best practices for petroleum extraction in sensitive areas, a lack of clarity regarding each party's role in the development process, and procedures that have not been standardized and often exclude the indigenous community.

Book Synopsis Reckoning with Harm by : Amelia M. Fiske
Download or read book Reckoning with Harm written by Amelia M. Fiske and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book aims to clarify what it means to be harmed by the petroleum extraction industry and how residents of Amazonia have in fact been harmed. The author critiques legalistic, technocratic definitions of harm, which are routinely used to deny accountability for widespread industry-driven damage and examines the contingencies involved in building an evidentiary base that takes into consideration not only legal documents, scientific studies, and soil samples but also the feel of crude between the fingers, family stories of miscarriages and polluted streams, "toxic tours" arranged for tourists, and political campaigns to call for corporate accountability"--
Book Synopsis Reckoning with Harm by : Amelia M. Fiske
Download or read book Reckoning with Harm written by Amelia M. Fiske and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ethnography of the Ecuadorian Amazon that demonstrates the need for a relational, place-based, contingent understanding of harm and toxicity. Reckoning with Harm is a striking ethnographic analysis of the harm resulting from oil extraction. Covering fifty years of settler colonization and industrial transformation of the Ecuadorian Amazon, Amelia Fiske interrogates the relations of harm. She moves between forest-courtrooms and oily waste pits, farms and toxic tours, to explore both the ways in which harm from oil is entangled with daily life and the tensions surrounding efforts to verify and redress it in practice. Attempts to address harm from the oil industry in Ecuador have been consistently confounded by narrow, technocratic understandings of evidence, toxicity, and responsibility. Building on collaborators’ work to contest state and oil company insistence that harm is controlled and principally chemical in nature, Fiske shows that it is necessary to refigure harm as relational in order to reckon with unremediated contamination of the past while pushing for broad forms of accountability in the present. She theorizes that harm is both a relationship and an animating feature of relationships in this place, a contingent understanding that is needed to contemplate what comes next when living in a toxic world.
Book Synopsis Oil, Revolution, and Indigenous Citizenship in Ecuadorian Amazonia by : Flora Lu
Download or read book Oil, Revolution, and Indigenous Citizenship in Ecuadorian Amazonia written by Flora Lu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the political ecology of the Ecuadorian petro-state since the turn of the century and contextualizes state-civil society relations in contemporary Ecuador to produce an analysis of oil and Revolution in twenty-first century Latin America. Ecuador’s recent history is marked by changes in state-citizen relations: the election of political firebrand, Rafael Correa; a new constitution recognizing the value of pluriculturality and nature’s rights; and new rules for distributing state oil revenues. One of the most emblematic projects at this time is the Correa administration’s Revolución Ciudadana, an oil-funded project of social investment and infrastructural development that claims to blaze a responsible and responsive path towards wellbeing for all Ecuadorians. The contributors to this book examine the key interventions of the recent political revolution—the investment of oil revenues into public works in Amazonia and across Ecuador; an initiative to keep oil underground; and the protection of the country’s most marginalized peoples—to illustrate how new forms of citizenship are required and forged. Through a focus on Amazonia and the Waorani, this book analyzes the burdens and opportunities created by oil-financed social and environmental change, and how these alter life in Amazonian extraction sites and across Ecuador.

Book Synopsis How to Make Them Hear by : Malcolm Rogge
Download or read book How to Make Them Hear written by Malcolm Rogge and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article from 1997 discusses how oil development in the Amazon basin of Ecuador threatens to displace indigenous peoples through environmental contamination and colonization. It describes one of the main strategies that local organizations use to resist displacement and defend local communities. Drawing on participatory-action field research conducted with Ecuadorian environmental and human rights organizations, the author describes local approaches to capacity-building for indigenous and mestizo-settler communities. Capacity-building is identified by local organizations as essential for addressing threats to human rights and the environment that are linked to oil development. While the focus is on transnational oil operations in the Ecuadorian Oriente, many of the issues and empowerment methods that are discussed are transferable to other local/global conflicts around the world, especially where indigenous and peasant communities are adversely affected by transnational resource extraction activities (mining, forestry, and oil).

Book Synopsis Oil in the Soil by : Pamela L. Martin
Download or read book Oil in the Soil written by Pamela L. Martin and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradise may have been found in the Western Amazon, but it is on the brink of destruction. Oil in the Soil analyzes the campaign to save the Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) block of Yasuní National Park in Ecuador's Amazon and the global networks that have resulted in one of the world's most innovative plans to save the Amazon and other biodiverse places on our planet. Pamela L. Martin examines the path-breaking global environmental governance mechanisms that have resulted from the transnational networks of the Yasuní-ITT campaign and their implications for replication around the world. The analysis of these networks reveals new dynamics of mobilization from the South, which may impact the future of global environmental negotiations. Martin also examines the alternative norms behind the initiative in the words of governmental and non-governmental actors. Such normative changes demonstrate the global struggles of the resource-dependent poor and provide insights toward new pathways of sustainable development for the planet.
Book Synopsis Oil Sparks in the Amazon by : Patricia I. Vasquez
Download or read book Oil Sparks in the Amazon written by Patricia I. Vasquez and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, studies of oil-related conflicts have focused on the effects of natural resource mismanagement, resulting in great economic booms and busts or violence as rebels fight ruling governments over their regions' hydrocarbon resources. In Oil Sparks in the Amazon, Patricia I. Vasquez writes that while oil busts and civil wars are common, the tension over oil in the Amazon has played out differently, in a way inextricable from the region itself. Oil disputes in the Amazon primarily involve local indigenous populations. These groups' social and cultural identities differ from the rest of the population, and the diverse disputes over land, displacement, water contamination, jobs, and wealth distribution reflect those differences. Vasquez spent fifteen years traveling to the oilproducing regions of Latin America, conducting hundreds of interviews with the stakeholders in local conflicts. She analyzes fifty-five social and environmental clashes related to oil and gas extraction in the Andean countries (Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia). She also examines what triggers local hydrocarbons disputes and offers policy recommendations to resolve or prevent them. Vasquez argues that each case should be analyzed with attention to its specific sociopolitical and economic context. She shows how the key to preventing disputes that lead to local conflicts is to address structural flaws (such as poor governance and inadequate legal systems) and nonstructural flaws (such as stakeholders' attitudes and behavior) at the outset. Doing this will require more than strong political commitments to ensure the equitable distribution of oil and gas revenues. It will require attention to the local values and culture as well.
