conflict and participatory processes in wind park construction in La Guajira, Colombia
Authors: Gubsch, Martin;

Making projects work

Abstract

More than 2,000 consultation processes and extensive aid packages aimed at conflict mitigation accompanied the construction of wind parks in La Guajira in northern Colombia. Despite this, there were social protests, humanitarian crises and numerous conflicts between government authorities, private companies and indigenous Wayuu communities. Martin Gubsch reveals a complex tapestry of divergent conceptions of progress, value, and justice underlying these conflicts and illustrates why participation fails as a conflict resolution mechanism if it does not take account of the everyday reality of conflict.
