La conflictividad vinculada a la gestión del eucalipto trasciende en Galicia su política forestal y abarca nuevos ámbitos sociales y políticos poco explorados en la academia. En tanto que ninguna especie de este género está catalogada en el Estado español como exótica invasora, numerosas instituciones se han articulado para incidir políticamente y revertir esta ausencia. Valiéndonos de este contexto, este trabajo examina los valores, actitudes y comportamientos políticos inherentes a la lucha institucional contra la eucaliptización. Concretamente examinamos, mediante las teorías jerárquica cognitiva y del análisis de discurso, 20 casos de corporaciones municipales que debaten su propia declaración municipal "libre de eucaliptos". Nuestro análisis revela que el ordinario contraste ideológico derecha-izquierda se reproduce en la estructura de valores ligados al eucalipto. En particular, las argumentaciones de contenido económico y social, más recurridas por parte de los ediles, adoptan un mayor protagonismo frente a las ecológicas y territoriales, minoritarias, y generan un aislamiento partidario que motiva la falta de consenso. Por todo ello, concluimos que solo una eventual devaluación monetaria del eucalipto motivaría un giro relevante de las posturas políticas. Asimismo, estimamos que la inclusión improvisada de debates partidistas acentúa la divergencia de intereses sectoriales en la gestión del eucalipto. ; The controversy around the eucalypt plantations transcends in Galicia its forest policy and encompasses today the less-studied social and political contexts. Whilst none of its species have been catalogued by the Spanish Government as invasive species, many local governments are assembling together to influence and reverse the situation. Taking this into account, this work studies the values, attitudes and political behaviors inherent in the fight against the expansion of eucalypts. Specifically, we examine at the local scale and through the cognitive hierarchy theory and discourse analysis, 20 cases of ...

Researchers, planners, and decision makers admit the need to take into account the social conflicts inherent to invasive species management in order to minimize controversy. These conflicts are mainly based on differences in values systems, thus causing antithetical policies in environmental management. On the topic of Eucalyptus plantations, this paper studies two cases in Galicia, a region under an emerging social fight between advocates and opponents: firstly, we analyze a local community that is progressively eradicating Eucalyptus through the principles of ecological restoration; and secondly, a planning initiative led by a local government with a common goal. In order to set the spatial and social dimensions of the conflict, the methodological approach is based on the components of cognitive hierarchy theory and risk perception theory. The results are discussed with the purpose of examining to what extent the case studies imply a new model of rural governance, and in this respect, are transferrable to other situations. We conclude that institutional non-interference in Eucalyptus management facilitates the emergence of diverse new governance practices in the local scale but endures the conflict in its regional dimension ; This research is supported by the PhD scholarship "Programa de axudas á etapa predoutoral" provided by the Xunta de Galicia (Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria) to D.C.
