García, M., & Mulrennan, M.E. (2020). Tracking the History of Protected Areas in Chile: Territorialization Strategies and Shifting State Rationalities. Journal of Latin American Geography 19(4), 199-234. doi:10.1353/lag.2020.0085.
Drawing on the concept of territorialization, this article investigates the connections between protected area creation and the aspirations of the Chilean state to assert geopolitical sovereignty over remote territories and resources. The authors focus on the shifting rationalities and practices of state-led territorialization that occurred through the creation and expansion of PAs, and the resulting dispossession and alienation of Indigenous peoples from their lands.
