Economías ilícitas en la Amazonia: Un desafío para la gobernabilidad en Perú, Brasil y Colombia

Abstract

Illicit economies such as illegal extractivism of natural resources or wildlife trafficking are new challenges for governability. From this starting point, the research aims to analyze social, political, environmental, economic and normative factors of the informal economies in the Amazon basin. The emphasis is placed on the triple border between Brazil, Peru and Colombia, in relation to its impact on political institutionalism. The application of a qualitative analysis based on primary sources infers that policy measures and regulations attuned to environmental crime to ensure social control and protection of biodiversity are still scarce.
