The Indigenous land titling trap
This article examines why Indigenous land titling, widely promoted as an enabling condition for climate action, advances without closing persistent gaps in territorial recognition. It conceptualizes this paradox as a climate titling institutional trap , in which reforms progress through adaptive practices yet remain embedded in territorial governance configurations that constrain their transformative potential. Drawing on an extended case study o…
Participation Artifacts
Indigenous participation is increasingly recognized as critical for effective climate change governance. However, a gap persists between global commitments and their implementation at local levels. This paper examines the challenges of participation in forest conservation initiatives, particularly how "participation artifacts"-tools, methodologies, and mechanisms designed to facilitate participatory processes-shape Indigenous inclusion in climate…
Penal extractivism
This article introduces the concept of penal extractivism in the punishment and society literature. We define penal extractivism as the punitive strategies that a state implements to safeguard extractive industries from citizens’ contention. This concept addresses the limitations of categories like criminalization, protest policing, social control, and labour discipline while bridging the gap between punishment studies and research on extractive …
Corrupting climate change institutions from the inside Systemic Collusion in the Peruvian Forest Governance
Illicit crops in the frontier margins
This paper explores illegal coca crop expansion in indigenous Amazonian communities in Peru. The ethnographic study sheds light on the historical development of these areas as frontier spaces, where the growth of illicit crops intertwines with socio-ecological transformations and gives rise to conflicts over new forms of land control, opportunities for capital accumulation, and political power dynamics. The paper argues that this expansion is sha…
Opposition Tactics on the Implementation of Advocacy-Driven Institutional Reforms
The weak institutionalisation of prior consultation in Peru
This paper explains how a comparatively weak Indigenous movement succeeded in establishing a precedent of Indigenous prior consultation reform in a national context adverse to Indigenous rights. The in-depth study of Peru shows that alliances between civil society actors and people inside certain state institutions who supported Indigenous claims can explain this outcome. The paper focuses on the collaboration of many human rights lawyers who bec…
Forest as 'nature' or forest as territory? Knowledge, power, and climate change conservation in the Peruvian Amazon
This paper examines the implications of climate crisis governance for rural communities in the Amazon of Peru. It draws the attention to the shared political economy behind the resistance of diverse rural populations particularly, Indigenous and Colono communities. Based on an analysis of two local conservation interventions in the region of San Martín-one involving indigenous communities and the other peasant settlers-this study argues that narr…
Toxic mobilization
This paper analyzes how the toxic consequences of extractive industries like mining have reconfigured both local topographies and introduced new structures and meanings regarding environmental justice and mobilization for communities living in polluted areas. Based on a longitudinal ethnographic study of the case of Espinar in Peru, the paper explains how the company and the government’s management of uncertainty regarding land and water pollutio…

Erradicación en suspenso
Este artículo explica la implementación heterogénea de la erradicación de cultivos de coca en el Perú, particularmente las sucesivas suspensiones de erradicación en el VRAEM, el productor más importante. El VRAEM permite examinar la capacidad estatal y las relaciones del Estado con actores no estatales que resisten sus políticas de erradicación, particularmente los cocaleros. Concluimos que la tolerancia estatal responde a un proceso de acumulaci…
The State's Developmentalist Illusion and the Origins of Illegal Coca Cultivation in Peru's Alto Huallaga Valley (1960-80)
The origin of illicit economies has been understood as a consequence of 'low stateness' (i.e. low reach of the state). Given the limited stateness in many regions, however, this article seeks to explain how only some sub-national territories have become vulnerable to illegal drug trafficking. To make this case, the representative example of the Alto Huallaga valley, in the Peruvian Amazon, is analysed. This article argues that ineffective develop…
Perú 2019
El presente artículo da cuenta de los acontecimientos del año 2019 centrándose en la grave crisis política que se desató entre el gobierno y el congreso, y su salida institucional. El artículo explica cómo esta crisis escaló en el 2019 de la mano de las escandalosas revelaciones de corrupción que implican gravemente a la mayor parte de la clase política del país. Esta crisis llegó a un punto de inflexión cuando el Presidente Martín Vizcarra disol…
The Subnational Indigenous Quota in Peru
The objective of this article is to explain the territorial variation in indigenous political representation at the subnational level in Peru. The Peruvian state introduced a weak indigenous electoral quota, and its effects have varied across provinces. This article presents a typology that combines descriptive and substantive dimensions of political representation. Using a subnational comparative method, the four cases studied illustrate distinc…

Rapid Ethnographic Assessment of HIV/Aids among Garífuna Communities in Honduras
Garífuna, an Afro-Caribbean ethnic group in Honduras, have among the highest HIV prevalence rates in Central America; 15- to 49-year-old Garífuna have HIV rates comparable to heterosexual transmission rates in regions of sub-Saharan Africa. The heightened rates in this age range pose a significant risk of vertical transmission from woman to child at birth. In 2006, a Behavioral Surveillance Survey plus Biomarkers (BSS+) reexamined seroprevalence …
