Tomando como ejemplo los sucesos ocurridos durante el Baguazo, en el presente artículo se hace un profundo análisis de la situación jurídico-social de los pueblos indígenas en el Perú.Se toma como objeto de estudio a la Ley de la Consulta Previa, promulgada en el Gobierno de Ollanta Humala, y se sustenta que esta política inclusiva, en realidad, está imbuida de colonialidad, concepto que será desarrollado a lo largo del artículo. Siguiendo por esta línea, se aduce que debido a la aplicación de conceptos eurocéntricos en un contexto diferente (Latinoamérica), se consigue un efecto adverso y contraproducente que desemboca en una política de exclusión. Finalmente, se propone como solución que el Estado debe acoger una política diferente, precisamente la de promover y respetar una verdadera autodeterminación de los pueblos indígenas.

El objetivo final del trabajo es, a partir del análisis del caso de la política económica del Perú, presentar una crítica de las teorías usuales de la circulación de modelos jurídicos y hacer una propuesta para una comprensión más profunda de este fenómeno.

The dominant theoretical frameworks that define the ontological and epistemological limits of legal theory have marginalized or excluded alternatives visions on justice and social organization. Moreover, and in spite of being deeply embedded in specific political and ideological matrix, these frameworks have attempted to obscure the role of the political in the definition of its conceptual basis. The theoretical perspective that is developed in this article - and that is part of a long tradition of critical theories (in plural) - seeks to reveal the deep relation between Law and Politics and reformulate it analytically in order to propose a broad vision of the legal theory from Latin America. 

Taking as an example the events that occurred during the ‘’Baguazo’’, in this article a profound analysis is made of the social legal situation of the indigenous peoples in Peru. The Law of Prior Consultation, enacted in the Government of Ollanta Humala, is taken as an object of study, and it is argued that this inclusive policy is actually imbued with coloniality, a concept that will be developed throughout the article. Following this line, it is argued that due to the application of Eurocentric concepts in a different context (Latin America), an adverse and counterproductive effect is achieved that leads to a policy of exclusion. Finally, it is proposed as a solution that the State should embrace a different policy, precisely that of promoting and respecting a true self-determination of indigenous peoples.

Los marcos teóricos dominantes que definen los límites ontológicos y epistemológicos de la teoría legal han marginalizado o excluido visiones alternativas sobre la justicia y la organización social. Además, y a pesar de estar profundamente arraigados a una matriz política e ideológica determinada, estos marcos teóricos han pretendido oscurecer el rol de lo político en la definición de su base conceptual. La perspectiva teórica que se desarrolla en el presente artículo, y que es parte de una larga tradición de teorías críticas (en plural), busca revelar la profunda relación entre el Derecho y la Política, y reformularla analíticamente para proponer una visión amplia sobre la teoría legal desde América Latina. 

Indigenous organizations, international actors, and national authorities portray different images of the relationship between ‘Indigenous Peoples’ and the natural environment. Based on these images, these actors deploy ecological, economic, and security arguments to create or transform protected areas. By exploring three cases of conflicts over inception and management of protected areas in the Peruvian Amazon this paper maps the tensions around the different images and explores how indigenous organizations and state authorities - backed by international actors - engage with security, economic and ecological rationales from their own sovereignty standpoint. The paper argues that the State weakens indigenous political aspiration of sovereign territorial control by translating this agenda into depoliticized mechanisms and assumptions of modern international environmentalism, which ulti...
