El recurso cuprífero de Cerro Colorado, Comarca Ngabe-Bugle, Panamá (1946-2014). Factor de negociación o de represión entre el Estado panameño y el grupo ngäbe

Abstract

The article is part of a broader study on the relationship between the Panamanian government and the Ngäbe group from the second half of the 20th century to the present. The author seeks to study the management of mineral resources in the country, focusing on those in the Ngäbe-Bugle created in 1997. It shows that the spirit that has driven the enactments of laws, throughout the period under review, has not been the same and has elicited reactions among the groups involved, affecting different aspects of governability and governance in the country.
