| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since the 1990s, Latin America has seen a legislative movement towards recognizing "indigenous autonomy." By ratifying international treaties that acknowledge the rights of indigenous peoples and by amending or enacting new constitutions, most countries in the region have explicitly institutionalized the recognition of indigenous autonomy. However, in practice, the implementation of these recognized rights has often been neglected. This study, conducted in collaboration with researchers and indigenous organization leaders from Latin American countries (Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina) and Canada, examines the realities following this institutionalization. The findings were published in the form of a book and an online seminars.
