Inserción económica internacional y "resolución negociada" de conflictos ambientales en AméRica Latina

Abstract

The article discusses the diffusion of "environmental dispute resolution" techniques in Latin American countries, as well as the underlying frameworks and ways of conceptualizing the environmental problematic. Through critical analysis of certain categories, we look at how this harmonious model lends a political dimension to the Latin American environmental issue, becoming part of the debate over development strategies or, to the contrary, removes this debate from the public sphere and treats the conflicts in an unpoliticized way, seeking a negotiated outcome between the parties that are directly involved. The bibliographical material is nourished by critical literature, also by those who promote so-called negotiated conflict resolution mechanisms. ©EURE.
