Resumen
A inicios de un nuevo siglo siguen indefinidos los rumbos de los territorios y recursos naturales de las comunidades amazónicas. A partir del Convenio 169 de la OIT, los pueblos indígenas y tradicionales recuperaran en el papel el derecho a la auto-determinación y con esto el derecho al manejo integral de sus territorios colectivos. La normativa ha sido ratificada e incorporada en las constituciones de gran parte de los países amazónicos. Al mismo tiempo, se mantiene como una utopía ante los macro-intereses de los Estados y Naciones en los recursos naturales de los territorios que se reflejan en determinaciones que se sobreponen a las formas de vida de las poblaciones locales. Este artículo contrapone las luchas y conquistas de los movimientos sociales en espacios amazónicos y la búsqueda de formas de desarrollo alternativo afectadas por los intereses y estrategias nacionales de desarrollo que continúan fundamentadas en las riquezas de los territorios ancestrales, en el marco de la emergencia de los nuevos gobiernos de izquierda en América Latina.
At the beginning of a new century, the future of the territories and natural resources of Amazonian communities remains uncertain. Based on ILO Convention 169, indigenous and traditional peoples will regain on paper the right to self-determination and with it the right to comprehensive management of their collective territories. The regulation has been ratified and incorporated into the constitutions of most Amazonian countries. At the same time, it remains a utopia in the face of the macro-interests of states and nations in the natural resources of the territories, which are reflected in decisions that override the ways of life of local populations. This article contrasts the struggles and achievements of social movements in Amazonian spaces and the search for alternative forms of development affected by national development interests and strategies that continue to be based on the wealth of ancestral territories, in the context of the emergence of new left-wing governments in Latin America.
