Environmental Change, Social Conflicts and Security in the Brazilian Amazon Environmental Change, Social Conflicts and Security in the Brazilian Amazon: Exploring the Links Dr. philos thesis Department of Political Science - University of Oslo Submitted by Alexander López Abstract Since the discovery of the American continent the Amazon has attracted international attention. The enormous area covered by the basin as well as the limited knowledge about its dynamics have produced through centuries a combination of myths and reality in the exploration of the basin. The stories of El Dorado and the Country of Cinnamon are starting points in the conceptualisation of the Amazon as an enormous space containing unknown richness and, therefore the origin of the international interest over this region. Nevertheless the international interest has always been present in the Amazon; it is until the 1980 when a systematic and organised international outcry began to take place. These new sets of international demands focus basically in the process of environmental change occurring in the area. Thus, attention is paid to the rate and extent of deforestation as well as to the national and international implication of such a process. The interesting aspect is that simultaneously to the process of environmental change a large number of social conflicts take place. As a result the Brazilian Amazon started to suffer abrupt changes, not only in its natural dimension, but also in its social one. Even though during the last three decades environmental change and social conflicts develop in an important magnitude, the academic debate outside Brazil has been centred in the process of environmental change. The social conflict dimension indeed has been marginalised in the analyses done up to now. Moreover, no serious academic attempt has been done in order to link in one given structure of analyses the two most important aspects of contemporary Amazon (environmental change and social conflicts). It is for the prior reason that the main objective of this dissertation is to overcome this gap by exploring the most important sources of social conflicts in the Brazilian Amazon, studying the particular contribution of environmental change to such a process. To carry out this objective I divide this dissertation in three parts containing nine chapters. Part A includes chapters I, II, and III. The main aim of this part is to provide with the necessary information of what is this dissertation about, as well as to point out what are the most important academic feeders for this study. Consequently, chapter I it is presented as the introduction in which I explain why this study is being carried out. In addition, it presents the research problem, the research questions, the main propositions, the research area, and the process of data collection. Chapter II discusses what I call the academic feeders of this dissertation. This is the most important work done in relating environmental matters to security and violent conflict. In particular it evaluates the contributions and limitations of what is called here the environmental security approach and the environmental conflict approach. This serves as background for the discussion presented in chapter III where I will present most of the research design adopted in this dissertation. Thus, chapter III shows my own theoretical methodological proposal for undertaking this research. Using a systemic perspective I specify a set of four independent variables with possible incidence in the value of the dependent variable (social conflicts). Thus, I place environmental change, land and income distribution, allocation of resources, and population growth as independent variables. However, the term independent does not mean that there is not relation between them, on the contrary it is by i understanding the links among them that one can get a better knowledge of the situation in the Brazilian Amazon. Part B encompasses chapter IV and V. Chapter IV provides an overview of the most influential historical elements in terms of the research problem. This chapter will explain why facts as the Pombal period, the rubber boom economy and specially the developmentalism idea are important elements for understanding the current situation in the Brazilian Amazon. Chapter V applies the macro perspective to the Brazilian Amazon. It exhibits an analysis of the current system dynamics. The evaluation of such dynamics is done in two levels. First, I present the system-suprasystem interactions (Brazilian Amazon- international community). The links are understood and related to the arguments presented in the environmental security approach (chapter II). The second level focuses on the main internal attributes of the system. This is done in order to facilitate the understanding of the case studies and it is related to the environmental conflict approach. Finally part C encompasses the remaining chapters (VI to IX). This part presents a detailed evaluation of the main sources of social conflicts in Roraima and Pará and the possible contribution of environmental change to the conflict dynamic. At the same time I point out some of the main links between the subsystems (Roraima and Pará), and between them and the Brazilian Amazon (chapters VI and VII). In chapter VIII I use the comparative method in order to evaluate the cases of Roraima and Pará. In order to carry out this task I use partially Mill’s methods of difference. This is done basically in order to see the specific contribution of environmental change to the social conflicts taking place in the Brazilian Amazon. At the end this chapter provides the major findings obtained through the case studies. Finally chapter IX relates the empirical findings to the initial discussion on social conflicts and security. In addition, it provides a suggestion for future research based on what has been discussed throughout this study. ii Preface This dissertation is based on research carried out during the years 1994-1998 at the department of Political Science, University of Oslo. A work such as this does not only constitute the author’ s effort. Most of all, this work is the result of the assistance, advises, and remarkable help of several people and institutions. First of all, special thanks to the Norwegian Council of Universities (NUFU) for financial support during the whole research period. Extended thanks to the Institute of Political Science, University of Oslo as well as to the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica for extra financial support.

Remotely-sensed images with high spatial resolution (Landsat) spanning 1986-2005, complemented by training sample data collected in 2006 and 2007, were used to define forest versus non-forested areas in three communities in Madre de Dios, four communities in Acre and four communities in Pando. The land cover classifications were used to detect areas of change in four paired image dates. Socio-economic data was collected in the communities through annual and quarterly surveys with 63 households in Pando, 59 in Acre, and 28 in Madre de Dios from June 2006 through August 2007. We found minimal deforestation and extremely high forest income dependency in sampled communities. In 2000– 2005, deforestation occurred in already fragmented areas and along roads, with most deforestation in Acre and least in Pando.

    NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS (NTFP) AND THE GLOBAL COSMETIC INDUSTRY: EXPLORING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF NTFP TO RURAL LIVELIHOODS IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON By AGHANE DE CARVALHO ANTUNES A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 Aghane De Carvalho Antunes To my family ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is the fruit of a long journey to professional and personal development that was accompanied by many phenomenal people who helped me in the development and completion of this work. First, I want to express my sincerest gratitude to my advisor, Cynthia Simmons, who from the very beginning, believed in me giving me a life-changing opportunity. If I am here today, it is because she could catch my potential for growing into an avid researcher. She expressed confidence in me when doubted; evolved into a friend willing to countless hours of conversation not only addressing theoretical human geographic frames but also about the many challenges I have had during this enlightening journey. With her encouragement and practical attitudes that go beyond just the rhetorical narrative of inclusion, diversity, and equality, she unconsciously drove me to a painful process of self-acceptance and reconnection with my parents, relatives, and ancestry, which enabled me to face up my feelings of insecurities and unworthiness within the excluding and elitist academic field. I also want to thank the distinguished members of my thesis committee, Robert Walker and Liang Mao, who generously shared their time, knowledge, and experiences with me.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

McGrath Woods Hole Research Center IASC Panel Formalisation of access and trade in land and natural resources: Inter-sectoral lesson sharing from and for forestry, mining, fisheries, and land tenure Panel Proponents: Paolo Omar Cerutti, Louis Putzel (Center for International Forestry Research) 14th Global Conference of the International Association for the Study of the Commons Mt Fuji, Japan, June 3-7th, 2013 The author agrees to allow the Digital Library of the Commons to add this paper to its archives for IASC Conferences 1 Development of a formal co-management system for floodplain fisheries in the Lower Amazon Region of Brazil. Abstract A major trend in the global trade in tropical forest products is the implementation of importation policies to promote the sustainable management of natural resources in the countries of origin. In many cases, efforts to ensure sustainable origins involve requirements that small scale rural producers and managers cannot meet. These agro-extractivist groups are often only partially integrated into the formal economy. Many lack the basic documents required to engage the government bureaucracy, and most production, local processing and marketing take place through informal channels that are outside government regulatory frameworks. This is especially true of small scale extractive activities such as artisanal fisheries. They face four major problems: 1) community management systems rarely produce the verifiable information on the sustainability of resource use required by import regulations; 2) The small scale, diffuse and informal nature of local fisheries means that there is minimal documentation of origins and the networks through which products pass before entering formal markets; 3) extraction, storage and processing technologies rarely meet government sanitary requirements , and 4) government regulatory processes impose excruciating costs on those attempting to comply with bureaucratic requirements.

  • Conditional Cash Transfers, Food Security, and Health
    806 Current Anthropology Volume 57, Number 6, December 2016 CA☆ FORUM ON PUBLIC ANTHROPOLOGY Conditional Cash Transfers, Food Security, and Health Biocultural Insights for Poverty-Alleviation Policy from the Brazilian Amazon by Barbara Ann Piperata, Kendra McSweeney, and Rui Sergio Murrieta Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs have become an increasingly popular component of poverty-alleviation pol- icies worldwide. The highly publicized success of Brazil’s Bolsa Família program (BFP), the largest such program in the world, has become a model for CCT programs elsewhere, including in highly rural African nations. This is despite the dearth of information on the impact of the program in rural contexts. Drawing on a unique natural experiment and using detailed anthropometric and dietary data collected in rural Amazonian subsistence-based communities, we an- alyze the impact of this critical policy on programmatic goals among the rural poor. Our data demonstrate the urgent need for more fine-grained biocultural research on this and similar policies. We show that despite close adherence to programmatic conditionalities, recipient households’ food security was measurably worse off and children’s poor nu- tritional status was virtually unchanged 4 years into the program. Using detailed ethnographic insights, we discuss the mechanisms that may explain these disappointing results in this rural zone and raise broader questions about the role of CCT programs for breaking the cycle of poverty in subsistence-based communities worldwide, especially without con- comitant investment in public health and sanitation infrastructure. Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are now estab- the short term while building specific forms of human capital in lished as one of the most popular antipoverty policies world- children that are intended to eventually position them to better wide (Amaral and Monteiro 2013; Hall 2006).

  • Jute Cultivation in the Lower Amazon, 1940E1990: an Ethnographic Account from Santare´M, Para´, Brazil Antoinette M.G.A
    Journal of Historical Geography 32 (2006) 818e838 www.elsevier.com/locate/jhg Jute cultivation in the Lower Amazon, 1940e1990: an ethnographic account from Santare´m, Para´, Brazil Antoinette M.G.A. WinklerPrins Department of Geography, Michigan State University, 207 Geography Building, East Lansing, MI 48824-1117, USA Abstract The Amazon region has long been a place of economic booms and busts. Much attention in the histor- ical literature on Amazonia has focused on the largest and most famous regional economic boom, the Rub- ber Boom, a period of sustained economic prosperity for some from 1860 to 1920. Other ‘booms’ have occurred in the region as well and this paper describes and discusses one of those others. The paper dem- onstrates how an export economy in a global periphery (coffee in Brazil) affected economic development in a periphery of that same country and makes a methodological contribution by demonstrating how ethno- graphic research can contribute to an understanding of a historical period when the paper trail is weak. Jute, a fiber crop, dominated agricultural production along the Amazon River floodplain in the reach between Manaus and Santare´m, Brazil, from the late 1930s until the early 1990s. The crop was introduced to the region by Japanese immigrants in order to supply the demand for jute sacking in the south of Brazil where such sacks were used to package commodities, especially coffee. Local smallholder cultivators grew and processed jute, production being mediated initially through Japanese middlemen, later by Brazilians. Poor fiber quality, several external shocks, including the removal of tariffs on imported jute, and especially changes in commodity packaging such as bulk handling and the use of synthetic sacks instead of jute sacks for the transport of coffee beans, the Amazonian jute market collapsed in the early 1990s.

Stretching the Inelastic Rubber: Taxation, Welfare and Lobbies in Amazonia, 1870-1910 Felipe Tâmega Fernandes† Harvard Business School October, 2009 Abstract This paper examines the effect of government intervention via taxation on domestic welfare. A case-study of Brazilian market power on rubber markets during the boom years of 1870-1910 shows that the government generated 1.3% of GDP through an export tax on rubber but that it could have generated 4.7% in total, had the government set the tariff at the optimal level. National, regional and local constraints prevented the government from maximizing regional welfare. In a context of lobbies, government budget maximization may have differed from regional welfare maximization. JEL: F14, H21, L13, L73, and N76.

  • BRAZIL's “BATTLE for RUBBER” of WORLD WAR II a Dissertation
    TAPPING THE AMAZON FOR VICTORY: BRAZIL’S “BATTLE FOR RUBBER” OF WORLD WAR II A dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Of Georgetown University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Xenia Vunovic Wilkinson, M.A. Washington D.C. December 2, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Xenia Vunovic Wilkinson All Rights Reserved ii TAPPING THE AMAZON FOR VICTORY: BRAZIL’S “BATTLE FOR RUBBER” OF WORLD WAR II Xenia Vunovic Wilkinson Dissertation Adviser: Erick D. Langer, PhD. ABSTRACT Japan’s occupation of Southeast Asia in early 1942 cut off more than 90 percent of the global rubber supply to the World War II Allies. Without an adequate supply of this strategic material to meet military-industrial requirements, it was impossible to win the war. The Roosevelt Administration concluded that the success of the Allied war effort could depend on increasing the productivity of rubber tappers who extracted latex from rubber trees dispersed throughout Amazonian rainforests. In response to Roosevelt’s appeal, Brazil’s President, Getúlio Vargas, organized a “Battle for Rubber” to increase rubber production in the Amazon. The authoritarian Brazilian government recruited around 30,000 “rubber soldiers,” mainly from the arid Northeast, and sent them to work on Amazonian rubber estates. This study explores the dynamics of global, national, and regional actors as they converged and interacted with Amazonian society in the Battle for Rubber. Migrant rubber tappers, Amazonian rubber elites, indigenous groups, North American technical advisers, Brazilian government agencies, and the Roosevelt Administration were linked in a wartime enterprise to increase rubber production.

  • Natural Resource Conflicts in the Western Amazon: Implications for Community Forest Management
    Natural resource conflicts in the Western Amazon: Implications for community forest management A. Duchelle, P. Cronkleton, K.A. Kainer, G. Guanacoma Abstract: Forest management decisions are strongly influenced by security of forest property rights, and best long-term management practices often hinge on strengthening control over forest resources through participatory engagement with local actors. Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa ) is the most important non-timber forest product (NTFP) in the tri- national region of Pando, Bolivia, Acre, Brazil and Madre de Dios, Peru. This species simultaneously promotes forest conservation and forms the livelihood base for rural communities. The current development of the Interoceanic highway, an extension of the recently paved Brazilian BR-317 into Bolivia and Peru, will change the nature of this formerly remote region by providing regional access to Pacific ports. Within this dynamic context, it is essential to understand how property rights security affects short and long-term Brazil nut management linked to forest conservation and economic futures of this region. We evaluated Brazil nut collection and management practices in twelve communities in Bolivia and Brazil by conducting interviews with 190 extractivists and accompanying Brazil nut harvests in 2006 and 2007. Results of this comparative study show that unclear property rights, coupled with the dominant role of Brazil nut in the Pando household economy, creates an extremely high degree of conflict during the harvest season. Such conflict affects both the timing of Brazil nut collection, as well as management of the resource. Conversely, a secure land tenure system in Acre based on customary “tree tenure,” along with more diverse livelihood options, have resulted in less conflict.
