The social-ecological crises in the Andean-Amazon-Region
Abstract
The joint Doc-Team project investigates the question of which factors lead to the deepening, reproduction, negotiation and alternative treatment of the socio-ecological crisis in the Andean-Amazonas region. In an interdisciplinary approach, the perspectives of social anthropology, international development, political science, and social ecology are combined, thus implementing a cross-national, multiscale, and actor-centered analysis of the social-ecological crisis in the Andean Amazon region. The different moments of the crisis will be analysed on the basis of current developments concerning land use in Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia - a region characterised by the destruction of biodiversity and socio-ecological conflicts. Both the structural factors of the crisis and the specific role of the actors will be explored. The aim of the joint project is to contribute to a better understanding of the complex interrelationships of the crisis between global dynamics and the specific contexts. It will build on debates about social natural conditions, the extractivist model of development and its effects, and the socio-ecological crisis, and establish a link between Latin American and European discussions and research approaches.
