MUNOZ C., María José. El conflicto en torno al Territorio Indígena Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure: Un conflicto multidimensional. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2013, vol.7, n.14, pp.67-141. ISSN 2007-8110.

The purpose of this article is to examine the conflict concerning the highway project that aims to cross through the Isibore Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park- (TIPNIS initials in Spanish) in Bolivia. Based on the premise that it is a multidimensional conflict, this article studies the interrelations and tensions between economic, ecological and cultural debates and analyzes each of these dimensions. The theoretical and analytical contributions of political ecology and developmental anthropology are of central importance for this analysis. The text shows how this particular conflict confronts Bolivia with the so called Bolivian change process, and opens the floor to more extensive and complex discussions around the model of development that the Plurinational State seeks to achieve and the role that natural resources will play in it.

Keywords : environmental conflict; TIPNIS; indigenous people; coca leaf grower; Bolivian change process; Living well; neoexractivism; natural resources access.
