Abstract
This thesis aims to analyse the attempts to reform land and resources management policies that emanate from global environmental political regimes and concern the Upper Amazon region. It examines some of the coalitions, alliances, and negotiation strategies that have accompanied and shaped the process of climate change politics from the preparation of COP 15 in Copenhagen (2009) to the preparation of COP 21 in Paris (2015). Using a form of multi-sited ethnography, it compares and contrasts the involvement in REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries) negotiations of, on the one hand, Peru and Bolivia, and, on the other hand, two transnational movements, the indigenous peoples movement and the forest conservation coallitions of NGOs. How do indigenous peoples of the Amazon region have occupied the political space created by climate change negotiations? Have they succeeded to gain recognition and to negotiate a better access to resources and services? Are they calling into question the assumptions of the regimes that govern the environmental transformation of these lands? Indigenous people’s organizations have being targets and partners of environmental and development policies but they have being rarely recognized the capacity to express what is "true for all" in a community of interest. By following key mobilization processes of indigenous peoples during the period studied (2010-2014) in Bolivia and Peru as well as in the transnational level this thesis aims to enrich the understanding of indigenous social movements, including normative global orders as a key level of analysis and focusing on the way this political realm articulates the relationship between the "human" and "the environment."
