Contrairement aux autres pays de l'Amérique du Sud où les conflits environnementaux relatifs aux ressources naturelles incluent l'exploitation minière, les forêts, le pétrole, ou le gaz naturel, les conflits environnementaux dans la Caraïbe comprennent de grands projets touristiques, le contrôle des côtes, et le contrôle des régions naturelles protégées. Cette étude se sert d'une lentille de l'écologie politique pour discuter les formes sociales d'accès et de contrôle des ressources ; l'étude permet de comprendre le tourisme de la région caribéenne comme une construction d'entreprise d'un paradis séculaire. Porto Rico sert comme une étude de cas de citoyens en lutte pour obtenir le contrôle de leurs ressources naturelles, spécifiquement les côtes. Deux cas de luttes continues sont examinées : 1. l'île de Vieques où la problématique principale constitue non seulement le contrôle du développement du tourisme, mais aussi l'avenir de la réserve naturelle nationale et les maladies des habitants de cette île causées par la contamination des matériels militaires abandonnés ; et 2. le Corridor Écologique du Nord-est entre Luquillo-Fajardo, où les discussions demeurent vives en ce qui a trait à l'équilibre entre la protection de la nature et le développement commercial, ainsi que ceux qui bénéficient du développement de cette zone.

The nature of colonialism in Puerto Rico has caused most political issues to be viewed within the framework of status politics. In the first stage of the struggle to expel the U.S. Navy from the island (1999-2003), civil society in Puerto Rico united when the issues were reframed with links not to status politics but to human rights and social justice. Viequenses symbolized for Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico, on the mainland, and in the world at large the costs of military colonialism. In the second stage of the struggle, since the military's departure, Viequenses have struggled to control the future development of their community as well as to clean up the toxic legacy of six decades of military maneuvers. The important question with regard to this stage is whether civil society can again rise above the institutionalized structure of colonial status politics to advocate for social and environmental justice. Viewing the Vieques case within the larger context of Puerto Rico's dependent relationship on the United States suggests that the struggle not only strengthened Puerto Ricans' capacity to determine their own future but also may have changed the calculus of colonialism from Washington's vantage point.

This article reviews the theoretical approaches used to study Hispanic women in politics and highlights their inadequacies forstudying the political behavior of low-income Puerto Rican women, who are used as a case in point. It is not an in-depth study but an effort to develop appropriate research questions and to suggest strategies for the systematic collection of data. In general, community groups are the basic arena for the political activity of Puerto Rican women in New York City. Thus, new theoretical approaches are necessary to capture Hispanic women's modes of influencing public policy.
