Invited but Ignored
Chile is considered an outlier compared to other Latin American countries, where Indigenous demands have had significant effects on state reforms and the broader political landscape. The constitutional process initiated in 2019 opened new avenues for Indigenous political participation. In this article, we analyze the interactions among Indigenous and non-Indigenous collectives during the constitutional process through the lens of indigenismo. Dra…

Does Indigenous Mainstreaming Work? Mechanisms of Indigenous Interest Representation in Bolivia
Bolivia's first Indigenous president, Evo Morales (2006–2019) of the Movement toward Socialism (MAS) party, made Indigenous rights the cornerstone of his administration. In his first official act, Morales disbanded the Ministry of Indigenous and First Peoples Affairs under the logic that Indigenous peoples' demands are to be incorporated into all facets of government, rather than addressed separately. In light of this dynamic, the paper takes up …
Indigenous regionalism in the Andes
Top-down processes of regional integration among the Andean countries of South America are occurring alongside bottom-up processes of Indigenous regionalism in Bolivia and Ecuador that weave together Indigenous peoples’ territories across local administrative units and even national borders. In light of this dynamic, the study asks: What explains the new Indigenous regionalism in the Andes? And, what are its implications for formal processes of r…
The Politics of Free, Prior and Informed Consent
What are the institutional arrangements required to implement a genuine process of free, prior and informed consent ( fpic )? This article provides a comparative perspective on the politics of consent in the context of relations between Indigenous peoples, states and extractive industries in Canada and Latin America. The case of Ecuador is presented as an emblematic example of a hybrid regime in which Indigenous communities have the right to free…
Being Indigenous in an Unlikely Place
How and why is Indigeneity expressed differently in different contexts? This article examines the articulation and expression of Indigenous Rights in one of the most challenging contexts—that of Siberia in the Soviet Union era. Based on primary, archival research carried out in the Republic of Sakha, Russia, the review finds that re-claiming and re-defining Indigeneity can serve as the first step in crafting an effective challenge to the dominati…
Approaching violence against Indigenous women in the Americas from relational, intersectional and multiscalar perspectives
L’épidémie de violence à l’égard des femmes autochtones dans les Amériques révèle une vaste dynamique sociale qui traverse les frontières nationales et régionales. La violence de la colonisation et de l’exploitation se reproduit à différentes échelles, du foyer à la scène internationale, en plaçant les femmes autochtones dans des espaces d’exclusion, en marge de l’État et de la société, où la violence peut se déployer et se reproduire en toute im…
Contemporary Indigenous issues
Contemporary scholarship on Indigenous issues explores a bold new array of questions and topics, both internal to Indigenous movement dynamics as well as external to their linkages across colonial borders and boundaries. It is time to take stock of this next generation of research. This is precisely what this special issue sets out to do with a collection of articles focused on gender, generational and technological issues in the countries of Can…
Protest and Democracy
In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their place in th…

How to Decolonize Democracy
This paper analyzes the successes, failures, and lessons learned from the innovative experiments in decolonization that are currently underway in Bolivia and Nunavut, Canada. Bolivia and Nunavut are the first large-scale tests of Indigenous governance in the Americas. In both cases, Indigenous peoples are a marginalized majority who have recently assumed power by way of democratic mechanisms. In Bolivia, the inclusion of direct, participatory, an…

Andes
The recent politicization of ethnic identities in the Andes has led to the emergence of vibrant indigenous rights movements and parties in the region. Indigenous peoples' interests have long been excluded from national political agendas. Contemporary indigenous mobilizations are challenging the region's exclusionary governing structures and prompting society to rethink the meaning of democracy and how best to govern in the context of ethnic plura…
From the ground up
To predict the electoral fate of the new cohort of indigenous-based political parties in Latin America, and the impacts on their respective party systems, we need to understand their prospects for consolidation. The central task of this article is to determine whether indigenous peoples’ parties are developing solid party roots in society or if they are merely benefiting from a protest vote against the system. The study of political party consoli…
Ethnicity and Development in Latin America
Societal Protest in Post-Stabilization Bolivia
Bolivia was the poster child for economic liberalization policies adopted throughout Latin America since the 1970s. The country is also currently viewed as a place where the neoliberal or market-oriented economic model has been exhausted, as indicated by high levels of societal protest and recent democratic instability. Using available subnational data from Bolivia, we examine the determinants of societal protest across the country's nine provinc…

The New Indigenous Activism
Indigenous peoples are assuming increasing political importance in Latin American democracies. They have organized nation-wide strikes and protests, blocked unpopular economic reforms, toppled corrupt leaders, and in some instances formed their own political parties and captured presidencies. This flurry of organizational activity has been met with a veritable explosion of scholarship on indigenous movements in the region, particularly in the cen…
The Emergence and Performance of Indigenous Peoples’ Parties in South America
One of the most significant and unexpected developments in Latin America during the past 10 years is the emergence of parties organized around indigenous identity. The authors use subnational data from six South American countries (Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela) to examine the factors responsible for the variation in the emergence and performance of indigenous peoples’ political parties in the region. Using a pooled cross…
