Dear all,
It looks (almost 90% sure) as though I'll be teaching a course next year
on Comparative Latin American Environmental Politics. I'm obviously
aware of work around Mexican climate/energy policy (Simone Pulver),
Mexican pollution and wastewater policy (myself if I am allowed to toot
my own horn), and Mexican environmental politics in general (forestry
Jordi Diez, overall Stephen Mumme). I'm quite familiar with Kathy
Hochstetler and Mimi Keck's work on Brazilian environmental politics.
I'm at a relative loss on the rest of Latin America, to be quite frank.
So I would very much appreciate any directions towards folks' work on
Latin American environmental politics. I will compile a list (next week
as right now I'm in the throes of marking 130 final papers) and will
post it to GEP-ED.
I think the countries I would be most interested in would be obviously
Costa Rica, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Chile. I have at least a friend who
has looked at the political ecology of Mapuche's relationships within
Chilean forestry (du Monceau 2008) so I'm less worried about finding
sources on Chilean environmental policy, but the rest of Latin America,
I'm wondering... thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Raul
