El mapeo participativo lo han usado comunidades indígenas y afrodescendientes en luchas de derecho a tierras y recursos. Sin embargo, nuevas presiones relacionadas con las políticas de cambio climático y prácticas extractivas han surgido en la reconceptualización del mapeo participativo. Este artículo presenta su historia en el contexto de las reformas territoriales y las leyes internacionales del siglo XX. Se discuten los avances del mapeo participativo, incluyendo usos innovadores de mapeo para representaciones espaciales, conservación cultural y manejo endógeno de recursos y gobernación comunitaria. Estas reflexiones surgen del Foro Internacional Cartografía Participativa y Derechos al Territorio y los Recursos, que tuvo lugar en la Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia) en el 2011.

This paper uses the food regime literature to analyse the political and economic relations promoting the expansion of soybeans in Argentina following the post-neoliberal turn in the early 2000s. Continuities of the agrarian expansion from the neoliberal to post-neoliberal model highlight the state's role in supporting a neoliberal food regime. Neoregulation in the postneoliberal agenda continues to favour increased production of transgenic food over ecological and human-health considerations. Moreover, the emergence of new corporate and transnational actors has contributed to a new form of corporate-agrarian governance premised on biotechnology. First, a food regime lens is used to describe the expansion of transgenic soybeans in Argentina, followed by an analysis of planning documents to show the state's position in reproducing neoliberal discourses and policies favouring the expansion of agriculture. The conclusion discusses the utility of food regime analysis for explaining the new forms of agricultural governance in Argentina. . I would like to thank the organizers, discussants and presenters of the 2015 LASA panel Neoliberalismo y transformaciones agroalimentarias en Latinoamérica: el impacto de los transgénicos, where I was able to participate, and particularly to Pablo Lapegna and Gerardo Otero for their insightful comments on early versions of this paper. I also want to acknowledge the help of my advisor, Dr Bjorn Sletto, for his guidance and valuable suggestions throughout the development of the paper. Last but not least, I appreciate the comments and direction of anonymous reviewers.
