Abstract

De onderzoeksjournalist Raf Custers reisde door de vijf meest zuidelijke landen van Latijns-Amerika: Brazilië, Argentina, Uruguay, Chili en Bolivia. Hij belicht in dit boek de burgerbewegingen daar, die willen dat hun natuur en toekomst voorrang krijgen op het grote geldgewin van regeringen en big business. Hij analyseert niet alleen de nefaste rol die multinationale ondernemingen spelen, maar brengt zeer goed het hardnekkige verzet van gewone mensen in beeld. Die verenigen zich vaak in lokale asamblea. Die bewegingen van onderuit zijn zeer belangrijk, zeker in tijden dat linkse regeringen op hun retour zijn.

Abstract

Increasing concern over the environment in the past decade has incited new attempts at policy-making. International organisations and environmental NGOs play substantial roles. When Brazilian President Cardoso signed a decree in January 1996 allowing interested parties more leeway in filing injunctions against the demarcation of indigenous areas, he was attacked on all sides. National and international NGOs and the European Parliament protested, and requested that the World Bank, the European Union and the G7 take measures. As the environmental issues becomes more important in international politics, vested political and economic interests are threatened.
