Inundaciones Políticamente Construidas. El Megaproyecto Hídrico Chone en Ecuador

Abstract: La construcción e implementación del megaproyecto hídrico Chone (Costa ecuatoriana) ha sido legitimada como medio para promover el desarrollo de la ciudad, pero ha inundado y transformado territorios rurales campesinos de manera permanente.
