Abstract :

[en] Global environmental issues have been posing substantial challenges for governments and people worldwide. And western knowledge, grounded in capitalism/coloniality/anthropocentrism, has not been able to provide the answers we need to surmount this existential threat. So, this article links Marxism, decoloniality, and conflict resolution theory to denounce the current environmental violence in Latin America and worldwide by exposing the clashes between the Global North and the Global South in environmental matters. We hope to demonstrate middle-ground theories are found to be more able to explain ongoing global issues and lead to proposals that include alternative paths of liberation.
