Boundary making and regional identities in a globalized environment : rebordering the Nariva Swamp, Trinidad

Auteur :
SLETTO, B.

Description :
From the perspective of critical geopolitics, boundary making for conservation purposes is understood as an act of power embedded within a discourse of environmental geopolitics. The A. illustrates a process of reborderings in which local, state, and international actors engaged in a contest to define conservation boundaries and produce bounded identities within the Nariva Swamp. State and local practices were influenced in complex ways, and relations of power were altered on multiple levels.
