 (1 review) latin-america http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/... - Venezuela, Bolivia and countries throughout Latin America are all implicated in and constrained by myriad regional and global economic forces that make environmental protection a difficult proposition.
Rejecting US trade deals and nationalizing natural resources--while important steps in diminishing the control of foreign multinationals over water, oil, gas and mining--do not on their own reverse an environmentally unsustainable economic model, nor do they build concrete economic alternatives for local communities destroyed by megadevelopment. The fight for a radical change in the relationship between economy and ecology is far from over.
