Climate change, human mobility, and peace and security in Guatemala: An examination of dominant policy narratives por Schapendonk, Frans, Scartozzi, Cesare M., Madurga Lopez, Ignacio M., Läderach, Peter R.D., Pacillo, Grazia

“…We find that despite environmental factors being increasingly recognised as drivers of mobility, Guatemalan policy discourse is generally reluctant to identify environmental migrants as a distinct legal and ontological category; that discourses around climate-related mobility tend to emphasise mobility occurring for economic reasons tied to the functioning of food, land, and water systems; that climate action is rarely presented as an opportunity to reduce displacement or promote the inclusion of migrants or displaced peoples; and that the most important institutions for the management of climate-related mobility trends specifically appear to have limited opportunities for cooperation and coordination. …”

A pandemic revealing another : Colombian indigenous women in the national COVID-19 discourse por Gallisai, Francesca

“…Three main problematic discourses arise from the analysis: the portraying of indigenous women as passive subjects which contrasts with the description of indigenous peoples as active in the face of the challenges brought by the pandemic; the overwhelming focus on the vulnerability of indigenous women thereby contributing to normalizing their view as powerless and voiceless, even in sources aiming to address gendered power differentials; and finally, a narrative of inclusion in decision-making processes that appears to potentially become double folded: on one hand, it can foster inclusion, on the other, if not coupled with institutional change, it can lead to the reproduction of those oppressions it aimed to challenge.…”
