- THE TIGER AND THE TURBINE: Indigenous Rights and Resource Management A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD. February 2007. Montreal Canada. This thesis examines the connections between institutional and economic incentives and resource use and management decisions among the Naso indigenous people in Bocas del Toro, Panama. I analyse the guidelines and criteria invoked by the various stakeholders involved with ongoing development projects in the region in order to assess the equity of the distribution of their social and environmental impacts.Also available in paperback from Amazon.com.
- El tigre en la turbina: poder y energía en el territorio Naso de Panamá Publicado en Desacatos. No.25. septiembre – diciembre 2007. Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social (CIESAS) México, D.F. La región Naso de Bocas del Toro en Panamá resulta muy interesante para estudiar la dinámica institucional correspondiente al acceso y manejo de los recursos naturales porque en el año 2005 existieron tres grandes proyectos de desarrollo y conservación que plantearon medidas para reordenar el territorio. Este artículo presenta un análisis de los conflictos relacionados con las diversas representaciones sociales, culturales y ambientales desarrolladas en torno a estas tres propuestas para evaluar la equidad de la distribución de sus impactos.
