Gas and Development: Rural Territorial Dynamics in Tarija, Bolivia
研究了玻利维亚塔里哈地区天然气开采快速扩张下的农村地域动态，分析了既有地域项目如何影响天然气产业对地方的作用、改变社区与国家和企业的关系，并调节地域转型。
Framed by concepts of territorial project, social coalitions, and scalar relationships, we analyze rural territorial dynamics under conditions of rapid expansion in natural gas extraction. Analyzing recent economic, political, and territorial transformations of Bolivia’s gas-rich region, Tarija, we argue that pre-existing territorial projects of a diverse set of subnational and national actors have: (i) shaped the influence of the gas industry on local dynamics; (ii) changed the scale relationships between local communities, the state, and companies; and (iii) mediated the transformation of territories in ways determined by the nature and aspirations of these territorial projects.
