| Summary: | Dam constructions have always seen de"ance from social, eco- nomic, and environmental forces. #e boom they experienced between 1947 and 1960 subsided in the following two decades. However, with fossil fuel depletion, this infrastructure is expected to rebound, leading to social mobilizations and socio-environ- mental conflicts. Since conflicts are not homogeneous phenom- ena but rather depend on citizen participation, it is necessary to know the extent to which participatory processes influence socio-environmental con!icts around hydroelectric infrastruc- ture construction. #us, the objective of this work is to propose a typology of socio-environmental con!icts that considers the influence of citizen participation around the construction of hy- droelectric infrastructure, taking as a criterion that the conflicts can go, in successive graduations, from simple disagreements without signi"cant social repercussions to violence, involving large conglomerates. Case studies from Mexico and Colombia were analyzed. In both countries, management invested in hy- droelectric plant constructions were involved in schemes of de- ception, manipulation, and blackmail joined by authorities and companies in charge of the projects. |
