Raul,
A nice sample might also include:
Rodriguez, P and D. Carruthers (2008). "Testing Democracy’s Promise: Indigenous
Mobilization and the Chilean State". European Review of Latin American and
Caribbean studies 85: 3-.
Lesley K. McAllister, Making Law Matter: Environmental Protection and Legal
institutions in Brazil, Stanford Law Books, 2008.
Your students might be interested in the following chapters from the book
"Comparative Environmental Politics" (Steinberg and VanDeveer, MIT Press, in
press), which cover the countries you mentioned:
Democracy and the Environment in Latin America and Eastern Europe
– Kathryn Hochstetler
Welcome to the Jungle: Policy Theory and Political Instability
