In Oil Sparks in the Amazon, Patricia I. Vasquez writes that while oil busts and civil wars are common, the tension over oil in the Amazon has played out differently, in a way inextricable from the region itself. Oil disputes in the Amazon primarily involve local indigenous populations. These groups' social and cultural identities differ from the rest of the population, and the diverse disputes over land, displacement, water contamination, jobs, and wealth distribution reflect those differences. Vasquez spent fifteen years traveling to the oil producing regions of Latin America, conducting hundreds of interviews with the stakeholders in local conflicts. She analyzes fifty-five social and environmental clashes related to oil and gas extraction in the Andean countries (Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia). She also examines what triggers local hydrocarbons disputes and offers policy recommendations to resolve or prevent them. Vasquez argues that each case should be analyzed with attention to its specific sociopolitical and economic context. She shows how the key to preventing disputes that lead to local conflicts is to address structural flaws (such as poor governance and inadequate legal systems) and nonstructural flaws (such as stakeholders' attitudes and behavior) at the outset. Doing this will require more than strong political commitments to ensure the equitable distribution of oil and gas revenues. It will require attention to the local values and culture as well. 410 0$aStudies in security and international affairs. 606 $aSocial conflict$zSouth America 606 $aIndians of South America$xSocial conditions 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xEnvironmental aspects$zSouth America 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xSocial aspects$zSouth America 615 0$aSocial conflict 615 0$aIndians of South America$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xSocial aspects 676 $a333.8/23098 686 $aPOL011000$aBUS070040$2bisacsh 700 $aVasquez$b Patricia I.$0991582 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910263848203321 996 $aOil sparks in the Amazon$92269375 997 $aUNINA
