Ecuador’s recent history is marked by  changes in state-citizen relations: the election of political firebrand,  Rafael Correa; a new constitution recognizing the value of pluriculturality  and nature’s rights; and new rules for distributing state oil revenues. One of  the most emblematic projects at this time is the Correa administration’s  Revolución Ciudadana, an oil-funded project of social investment and  infrastructural development that claims to blaze a responsible and responsive  path towards wellbeing for all Ecuadorians. The contributors to this book  examine the key interventions of the recent political revolution—the  investment of oil revenues into public works in Amazonia and across Ecuador;  an initiative to keep oil underground; and the protection of the country’s  most marginalized peoples—to illustrate how new forms of citizenship are  required and forged. Through a focus on Amazonia and the Waorani, this book  analyzes the burdens and opportunities created by oil-financed social and  environmental change, and how these alter life in Amazonian extraction sites  and across Ecuador.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137564627\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-53362-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 296\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752489054348,"sku":"9781137564627","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137564627.jpg?v=1776696647","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137564627","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
