Negotiating new political spaces: claims for redistribution and recognition in Chile and Bolivia

Tildelt: kr 4,7 mill.

The past two decades have seen the emergence and consolidation of several concomitant and contradictory political-economic processes in Latin America, which have changed conditions for collective action and civil society politics. Within these new 'struct ural contexts', political actors can be assumed to have differential effectiveness in promoting their claims for redistribution and recognition. "Negotiating new political spaces: claims for redistribution and recognition in Chile and Bolivia" will adva nce social-scientific theory on the interrelations between structural context, political practice and the ability of different actors to press effectively their claims, and give deeper insight into the implications of these interrelations upon empirical a nd theoretical questions of redistribution and recognition. The project will contribute towards central social scientific goals. First, it will strengthen the relation between basic and applied research. It will do this by developing and applying a poli tical space approach to unpack the spatial and scalar dynamics of political practices for unions, NGOs and other actors in four specific industries in Latin America that are of commercial interest to Norway. This conceptual approach will be relevant for c omparative research outside of this region as well. Second, attention will be paid to the ways in which these dynamics influence theoretical and empirical issues of redistribution and recognition and thus meet policy demands for knowledge. Third, the proj ect develops new expertise in the field in Norway (one Post-doc) and international cooperation with leading researchers enabling extensive researcher training (two PhDs). In Chile, the focus will be on the market-driven forestry and aquaculture sector. In Bolivia, the focus will be the renationalized gas and mining sector. The actors in focus will be NGOs and labor unions in particular.
