The history of a grassroots struggle against proposed mining projects in the Ecuadorian community of Junín reveals the centrality to its development of a "colono mentality" augmented by the conscientization of liberation theology. Links established between local organizers and NGOs in Ecuador and elsewhere helped the community to raise the costs of development sufficiently to drive the mining company away. A subsequent rise in the price of copper altered the comparative-advantage formula again, however, and a new mining company is seeking to win community members' hearts and minds. While a Gramscian war of position is appropriate under present circumstances, it is highly vulnerable to capitalism's capacity for survival.

The Zapatista rebellion commands scholarly attention. The novelty of the rebellion's tactics combined with the sophistication of its discourse provides rich material for understanding Latin American social movements. We have greatly benefited from both scholarly theoretical approaches and substantive academic analysis and debate regarding the meaning of democracy, citizenship and politics. Shannan Mattiace's contribution, To See with Two Eyes, is a valuable addition to this expanding literature.

In: Elements in public policy
This Element explores the uncertain future of public policy practice and scholarship in an age of radical disruption. Building on foundational ideas in policy sciences, we argue that an anachronistic instrumental rationalism underlies contemporary policy logic and limits efforts to understand new policy challenges. We consider whether the policy sciences framework can be reframed to facilitate deeper understandings of this anachronistic epistemic, in anticipation of a research agenda about epistemic destabilization and contestation. The Element applies this theoretical provocation to environmental policy and sustainability, issues about which policymaking proceeds amid unpredictable contexts and rising sociopolitical turbulence that portend a liminal state in the transition from one way of thinking to another. The Element concludes by contemplating the fate of policy's epistemic instability, anticipating what policy understandings will emerge in a new system, and questioning the degree to which either presages a seismic shift in the relationship between policy and society.
