“…A World Bank investigation recognised its own responsibility -as it funded the Natural Resource Management Project for Kenya (NRMP) 16 -in its failure to protect Sengwer people from eviction in the context of REDD+ readiness. (Ludlow et al 2016). Despite a current move to formalise 5 million hectares for Indigenous Peoples under a REDD+ agreement between Norway, Germany, and Peru, 18 titling and formalisation is a means to an end, rather than a policy shift 19 (see Humphreys et al 2016).…”

• This review reveals multiple allegations of abuses of the rights of Indigenous Peoples in the context of ReducingEmissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) readiness and implementation.• Findings from the review should be transformed into opportunities for REDD+ to promote and strengthen the rights of Indigenous Peoples.• A rights-based approach to REDD+ requires engagement with indigenous men and women as rights-holders, rather than as project beneficiaries.• Parties should be pressed to investigate abuse allegations, enable access to justice, and develop grievance mechanisms within REDD+ processes.• REDD+ risks exacerbating issues of unsecured rights and pre-existing conflicts over land in the contexts in which it is being readied and implemented, unless it is re-oriented to enhance the rights of Indigenous Peoples. Evidence suggests Indigenous Peoples' undefined tenure rights will negatively impact REDD+ targets.• Ensuring the consistent participation of indigenous men and women throughout REDD+ processes is imperative, following clear guidelines for Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), and with capacity-building efforts for their effective participation.• Rather than being seen as a tool to discourage negative impacts, REDD+ safeguards must be reframed to recognise, inter alia, the key role of Indigenous Peoples in climate change initiatives and protecting forests.

“…In these areas, international tourism remains scarce, but nationally there is a growing demand for indigenous tourism experiences. In the creation of tourism products, the terms of use of indigenous culture follow a general discourse connected to the traditional or exotic as a unique selling point (Keskitalo, 2004;Ludlow et al, 2016;Pashkevich & Keskitalo, 2017). This image potentially contributes to a limited understanding and further distancing of the Northern Europe/Arctic territories and communities, reducing indigenous culture to a quest of the most "traditional" thus less "developed" and exotic hosts.…”

Through a critical reading of previous research, this article explores local and indigenous cultures in the context of Nordic Arctic tourism and how its consequences have been researched in Nordic tourism research. We show that experiences with, practices of and controversies over the representation and presence (or absence) of local and indigenous culture in tourism take on very many different meanings and shapes across the Nordic Arctic. This, we argue, calls for situated and sensitive ways of doing research. With a focus on Sámi, Nenets in Russia and Greenlandic Inuit, we discuss the current state of indigenous and Arctic culture in Nordic Tourism before looking closer into how Nordic tourism scholarship has addressed the relations between indigenous culture and tourism in the Arctic. We conclude by proposing three trajectories for tourism research and tourism development, which further supplement and diversify ongoing research.

“…This is due in large part to Correa's intransigence toward Ecuador's indigenous population and indigenous political movements such as CONAIE 3 (having originally relied upon their support for his early electoral success). As such, and not least because sumak kawsay is a plural concept among multiple indigenous contexts (Ludlow et al, 2016;Radcliffe, 2012;Simban˜a, 2011;Zimmerer, 2012), the conceptual and ethical space between sumak kawsay as a Kichwa cosmology and Buen Vivir as government policy continues to widen. In turn this inevitably calls into question the decolonising quandary, after Spivak (1988), for whom, or to whom, do sumak kawsay and Buen Vivir speak?…”

Ecuador’s experiment in living well: Sumak kawsay, Spinoza and the inadequacy of ideas

In April 2017 Ecuador halted the continental drift to the conservative right in Latin America by electing leftist Lenín Moreno to the Presidency. Attention has turned, therefore, to the legacy of outgoing President Rafael Correa's decade in power. To that end, this paper examines one of Correa's signature programmes, 'Buen Vivir' (Living Well), a strategic plan for development underscored by the indigenous Kichwa cosmology of 'sumak kawsay'. Sumak kawsay is a notion that has been co-opted into policy mechanisms in an attempt to both challenge neoliberal modes of governance, and to disrupt the ontological bifurcation of nature and society. Given the emphasis placed on ecological sensibility in sumak kawsay and Buen Vivir, critics have been quick to highlight the contradictory relations between Ecuador's mode of environmental governance and its extractivist agenda. Such critiques are as staid as they are well rehearsed. Acknowledging the precarious composition of sumak kawsay, the paper questions the extent to which the ethos of experimentalism in politics can be sustained, eliding stymied technocratic forms of the political. It turns, therefore, to Baruch Spinoza's treatise on adequate and inadequate ideas. In so doing, the paper examines how one can critique an idea without perpetuating a moral economy in judgment. Consequently, the paper considers the way in which Spinoza's thought can be charged to recuperate imperilled political ideas.
