“…Social learning, a crucial feature of EG according to Berkes (2017), has been considered by some authors like Schmidt et al (2018) and Pérez-Salicrup et al (2018); however, more research is necessary to understand how learning processes in different settings take place. Communication between actors, an aspect highlighted by Delgado et al (2019), has received less attention, except in studies on intercultural FG (Bilbao et al, 2019;Eloy et al, 2018;Mistry et al, 2019). Furthermore, as noted by Bennett and Satterfield (2018) regarding EG studies in general, many FG studies focus on only one dimension of governance, which might lead to one-sided conclusions.…”

“…Others speak in this context of a new concept of intercultural fire management based on a dialogue between all stakeholders (Bilbao et al, 2019;Eloy et al, 2018;Mistry et al, 2019). Thus, as outlined in the Introduction based on Delgado et al (2019), communication plays a key part in equitable FG, including strategies that consider the cultural context and local terminologies (Carmenta et al, 2013;Martínez-Torres et al, 2018). Predominant approaches of governments to fire management are still far away from these aims (Dressler et al, 2021;Eufemia et al, 2022;Mistry et al, 2016;Monz on-Alvarado & Keys, 2017;Smith & Dressler, 2020), although there are some examples of good practices and promising advances (Bilbao et al, 2019;Eloy et al, 2018;Mistry et al, 2019).…”

“…Participation, and in particular the role of local communities, is also mentioned by other actors, such as Evans (2011) and Delgado et al (2019), who sometimes place it in an even more prominent position of EG. According to the normative approach to EG of Delgado et al (2019), this participation should not only consist in the consultation of local opinions, or the taking part of local communities in certain management activities, but rather having an active role in decision-making. Further aspects mentioned by Bennet and Satterfield in the context of equitable governance are recognition, fairness, and justice.…”

“…Concerning robust and responsive governance, several authors stress the importance of adaptive capacities that can absorb stresses and adjust to altered conditions (Berkes, 2017;Delgado et al, 2019;Evans, 2011). Chaffin et al (2016) identify adaptive governance as a process of either resisting undesirable change or seeking a transformation towards a more desirable state, responding to factors such as policies and biophysical shocks in the specific system.…”

“…Berkes (2017) also highlights the role of learning processes as an essential part of adaptation, in line with Koontz et al (2015), Chaffin et al (2016), and with Bennet and Satterfield who include learning as a central feature of the objective of EG to be responsive. Delgado et al (2019) mention learning, too, and stress that it is closely related to the existence of functioning stakeholder communication. Furthermore, according to Bennet and Satterfield, robust governance processes require legitimacy of the involved leading stakeholders and are related to the existence of the polycentric and nested networks mentioned before.…”

Fire is a highly relevant governance challenge in the tropics: altered fire regimes, among other phenomena, threaten the persistence of various ecosystems. Fire is also widely used by smallholders. Yet, wildfires can put people's livelihoods in danger through direct damages and by impoverishing ecosystem services. Conventional approaches have sought to suppress any type of fire in the landscape. However, since the late twentieth century, researchers and practitioners have recognized the benefits of strategic fire use and, in some cases, of local fire use traditions. In many tropical areas, the coexistence and interaction of the conventional (‘suppression‐only’) approach, integrated approaches, and communities’ traditional ways of using fire, create a complex network of actors with different interests and outlooks. The ways these actors make decisions and interact can be summed up under the notion of fire governance. There is a growing body of literature dealing with this kind of situations, although they do not always mention the term governance. This paper thematically analyses 38 studies in this field, showing that research has been scattered and often addresses the issue partially, leaving out key aspects of environmental governance. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes a more connected and holistic research agenda.

Resumen En este artículo analizamos los Planes de Recuperación Social y Ambiental implementados por el Estado de Chile en las comunas denominadas zonas de sacrificio. Desde los aportes de la justicia ambiental y los debates respecto a la participación y la gobernanza que esta política involucra, damos cuenta de las contradicciones y dificultades para la transformación de los territorios dañados por la intensificación de actividades extractivistas, principalmente minero-energéticas. Concluimos mostrando cómo estas limitaciones y fallas de la política estatal ambiental se relacionan con la disociación de lo ambiental y social, -a través de la subvaloración de esta última-; la comprensión instrumental de la participación como una herramienta tecno-burocrática para fines estatales; y las tensiones generadas por un modelo de gobernanza ambiental neoliberal. Finalmente planteamos la necesidad de pensar el concepto de zona de sacrificio vinculado a la recuperación socioambiental como propuesta desde los territorios para la transición hacia zonas de recuperación.

From Resistance to Creation: Socio-Environmental Activism in Chile’s “Sacrifice Zones”

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The last decade has witnessed the proliferation of socio-environmental conflicts across Chile, characterized by the resistance of local communities against extractive and industrial projects. Increasingly, these conflicts have revealed the multiple injustices experienced by communities living in sacrifice zones. A sacrifice zone can be defined as a segregated place where the quality of life of its communities is compromised in the name of progress and capital accumulation. By focusing on socio-environmental struggles taking place in Quintero-Puchuncaví Bay, Coronel Bay, and Hualpén-Talcahuano Bay, three highly polluted and industrialized areas in Chile, this article explores the views and practices developed by grassroots activists in their quest for resisting and moving beyond the capitalist and extractivist model of development. By conducting a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 32 socio-environmental activists, this qualitative study provides a detailed account of how they understand a sacrifice zone and resist in these areas. Furthermore, it describes alternatives to capitalist and extractivist development envisioned and enacted by grassroots movements, expanding on the notions of territorial sovereignty and “buen vivir”.
