“…For decades, Latin American governments, driven by neoliberal ideologies, have been "fast-tracking infrastructure and extraction projects, and limiting dissent", sometimes by violent means (Bebbington et al, 2018, p. 190). In response, Latin American civil societies have mobilized in defence of sustainable development, including environment, social impact of large projects, and human rights (Bebbington et al, 2018;Roca-Servat & Ocando, 2019;Sánchez-Vázquez & Leifsen, 2019). While some of these activities are best classified as "ordinary" participation aimed at influencing specific decisions, others can be considered meta-participatory, namely, attempts to "change governance arrangements" (Bebbington et al, 2018) and to promote participation of civil society in decision-making (Martínez, 2011;Roca-Servat & Ocando, 2019;Sánchez-Vázquez & Leifsen, 2019;Silva, 2015).…”

This paper elaborates on the relatively unknown concept of meta-participation: stakeholders’ attempts to reorganize the way in which their participation in decision-making is organized. It also applies these conceptual insights to an empirical study of Peruvian civil society. Relying on primary documents and interviews with stakeholders, the article analyzes meta-participation in the framework of Peru’s Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the European Union, showing why and how Peruvian civil society has sought to improve the way in which the participation opportunities offered in the framework of the FTA have been implemented. The article has been developed in an abductive manner, with conceptual and empirical insights building on each other. Finally, the article also discusses the limitations of these meta-participatory activities. Resumen: Metaparticipación en mecanismos multilaterales: La sociedad civil peruana y el Tratado de Libre Comercio con la Unión Europea El artículo elabora el relativamente desconocido concepto de metaparticipación: Los intentos de las partes interesadas en reorganizar el modo en el que se organiza su participación en la toma de decisiones. Asimismo, aplica estas perspectivas conceptuales a un estudio empírico de la sociedad civil peruana. Basándose en documentos primarios y entrevistas con las partes interesadas, el artículo analiza la metaparticipación en el marco del Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC) de Perú con la Unión Europea y muestra por qué y cómo la sociedad civil ha intentado mejorar la implementación de los espacios de consulta proporcionados en el marco del TLC. El articulo ha sido desarrollado de manera abductiva, en la que las ideas teoréticas y empíricas se refuerzan unas a otras. Finalmente, el articulo también analiza los límites de estas actividades metaparticipativas.

“…In the case of Tundayme, where the Mirador project is located, the development of the last PDOT included the participation of community leaders, environmental organizations and local state authorities who opposed the mining project. Their participation in the PDOTs generated an alternative economic model for Tundayme where large-scale mining was not an option for local development (Leifsen 2017;Sánchez-Vázquez and Leifsen 2019).…”

The Cordillera del Condor in the Ecuadorian Amazon has been analyzed frequently in the literature of extractivism in Latin America, due to the current mining pressure on this territory. Mining is, however, the most recent in a long history of territorial transformations in the region. The production of territory in the Cordillera del Condor is the result of a complex historical accumulation of events, motivated by the political economy of the country that has transformed the people and its land. By studying the main events of state deterritorialization, this article examines multiple socio-spatial relations that occurred in the Cordillera del Condor. This article identifies three main events of state deterritorialization: (1) colonization and evangelization, (2) the Ecuador-Peru war and (3) large-scale mining. The analysis illustrates how territory is constantly integrated into the economic and political rationality of the nation-state and discusses these transformations in line with the institutionalization of new forms of organization, legibility, commodification of nature and subjectification of people. In contrast, the study also illustrates how people inhabiting this space counteract state deterritorialization by deploying the same strategies as the state; reinforcing reterritorialization in their own terms. The article concludes by highlighting the agency of people to reshape state mechanisms in the struggle of defining a territory.Keywords: state deterritorialization, reterritorialization, political ecology, Cordillera del Condor, Ecuador
