“…Instead, they have created their own multi‐level institutional space known as the national and regional “Indigenous REDD+ roundtables.” These roundtables represented the space to bring Indigenous socio‐cultural diversity existing at multiple scales and to balance power within the multi‐scalar network of IPOs. They serves as spaces for sharing information, coordinating, self‐reflecting on the risks and opportunities of REDD+, resolving differences and frictions concerning REDD+ risks and benefits and developing the strategy development toward the recognition of Indigenous rights within the REDD+ framework (Kowler et al, 2016). At the same time, they have been active in the multi‐scalar political arena through joining diverse platforms and decision‐making processes that allowed them meaningful interaction, placed their aspirations on agendas at different political spheres and infused national REDD+ policies and plans with their socio‐political priorities.…”

“…While extended research on Peru's REDD+ covers the forest governance system (Kowler et al, 2016; Robiglio et al, 2014), only a few studies engage with the involvement of Indigenous Peoples and their organizations (Dupuits & Cronkleton, 2020; White, 2014). This paper examines, for the period 2008–2019, the multi‐scalar socio‐political dynamics and negotiations between the State and Indigenous Peoples' Organizations (IPOs) underlying the tailoring of REDD+ institutional framework.…”

“…Addressing local people's needs in terms of land rights allocation continues to be problematic (Sunderlin et al, 2018). While some studies have investigated Indigenous Peoples' mobilization across scales in the climate negotiations (Claeys & Delgado Pugley, 2017;Lindroth & Sinevaara-Niskanen, 2013;Wallbott, 2014), little attention has been paid in the literature to the actual engagement, participation and role of Indigenous Peoples' organizations in the politics and policy-making While extended research on Peru's REDD+ covers the forest governance system (Kowler et al, 2016;Robiglio et al, 2014), only a few studies engage with the involvement of Indigenous Peoples and their organizations (Dupuits & Cronkleton, 2020;White, 2014).

The reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+) mechanism is a climate change mitigation policy tool widely used in tropical forested countries that faces institutional and governance challenges in its implementation. Peru provides a particularly rich case study to analyze the agency of Amazonian Indigenous Peoples' organizations (IPOs) in the development of a national REDD+ policy. We examine the multi‐scalar interaction between the Peruvian State and IPOs in the governance of REDD+, identifying the role of Amazonian Indigenous groups in this process. Drawing on socio‐ecological governance and political economy approaches, we analyze data collected through interviews and participant observation. The article provides a case study of how IPOs work within the evolving governance system of REDD+ in Peru—both in responding to opportunities and in shaping the emergent system. Furthermore, it reveals that IPOs' rights and equity frame—deployed through several multi‐scalar strategies—has finally found a place in Peru's REDD+ governance. This has resulted in a more pluralistic mode of coordination between the State and IPOs and in the increase of the socio‐political empowerment of Indigenous Peoples. Our analysis suggests that Peru's REDD+ policies could progress toward more equitable outcomes through a true operationalization of cohesiveness and inclusiveness that encourages a meaningful relationship building between the state and Indigenous Peoples.

Contesting the hydrocarbon frontiers: State depoliticizing practices and local responses in Peru

a b s t r a c tBased on primary sources, this article analyzes 150 participatory events related to planned hydrocarbon projects in Peru (2007Peru ( -2012. Therein, it sheds light on state depoliticizing practices and local populations' contestations thereof. We argue that participation in the extraction sector has not enabled effective participation and has instead been used to pave the way for expanding the extractive frontiers. We find that the state entity responsible for carrying out the events applied three main depoliticizing practices: (a) the organization of exclusionary participatory processes, (b) the provision of pro-extraction information, and (c) the identification of critical actors and discourses in order to formulate recommendations on how to weaken resistance against the planned activities. This study also reveals that local populations often contested the participatory events and identifies subnational patterns of local contestation. We find that higher degrees of contestation were fueled by previous negative experiences with extraction activities and the existence of local economic alternatives. To assess the histories and results of contestation over specific extractive activities over time, the study draws on monthly conflict reports produced by the Peruvian ombudsperson (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016). We find that local contestation was quite influential, leading to increased social investment programs in the affected areas, the withdrawal of several extraction corporations, and Peru's adoption of the Law on Prior Consultation (2011). However, the long-term prospects of the transformations provoked by repoliticizing processes need to be evaluated in the years to come.
