“…Global Witness ha denominado reiteradamente a Honduras como el país más mortífero per cápita para los defensores de la tierra y el medio ambiente (Orsi y DiLorenzo, 2018;Defensores en Línea, 2016). Es uno de los países con la expresión más aguda de una tendencia global caracterizada por la violencia y la represión contra defensores de la tierra y el medio ambiente en el marco de proyectos agroindustriales y de minería e infraestructura en expansión (Hristov, 2020). Además, ha sido descrito por la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (cidh) como «uno de los países más hostiles y peligrosos para los defensores de derechos humanos» (Human Rights Watch, 2018).…”

Classified as one of the countries with the highest incidence of homicide and femicide in the world, Honduras has been revealed as a flashpoint for violence perpetrated by the drug cartels and gangs. However, to reduce the problem of violence to simply «criminality» is inexact because it focuses upon the symptoms, to the detriment of the core causes, and which drives increasing involvement in the Armed Forces and the Police, bodies that are responsible for grave violations of human rights. At its core lies a foundation of political violence —that is, the violence and repression against the defenders of the earth, environment, and human rights— those who search for alternatives to agro-industrial, mining and infrastructure projects. Over the past decade, state and non-state actors, such as paramilitaries, have perpetrated violence in the service of capital. Paramilitary violence is functional for the large-scale accumulation of capital in agro-industry, tourism, mining and energy; it also drives the imposition of neoliberal reforms in land management, education and health. Paramilitary violence in the service of local and international corporations has occurred within a militarized context that extends state violence to repress and criminalize social movements. Honduras stands out as one of the four countries in Latin America with the highest levels of violence and criminalization, interrelated phenomena.

This chapter aims to make a critical analysis of the evolving process of neoliberal capitalism globalization. It begins with the assumption that the neoliberal capitalism system is undergoing a mutation in the globalization processes as a dynamic element in continuous economic and financial crisis representing the development of the logic of capital based on the neoliberal ideology that promotes the free market. The evolving process of globalization is the history of international free trade framed by the classical liberal and neoliberal economic theory. The discussion focuses on a critical analysis of the paradigm of deglobalization as an alternative to the global capitalist regime that proposes local and regional economic protectionism solutions as an alternative to keep growing the national economies but still neglecting social justice and inequality inclusiveness and socio-ecological development.
