| contents | Limitations on Democracy in Multilateral Policies to Regulate the Political Participation of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples María Cristina Ovalle Almanza Juan Camilo Vásquez Salazar Política United Nations Indigenous Peoples political participation critical discourse analysis International Labour Organization Objective/Context: This paper analyzes the discourse of three supranational policy instruments produced by the International Labour Organization and the United Nations regarding the political participation of Indigenous Peoples. We argue that these discourses promote a utilitarian view of the environment and pose severe limitations on substantial political participation by Indigenous Peoples.Methodology: To support this thesis, we present the results of a Critical Discourse Analysis that reveals how political participation is shaped through discourses, social actors are represented within hierarchical relationships, and nature is defined in terms of an exploitable resource.Conclusions: Our conclusions show that these documents stimulate a form of political involvement by Indigenous Peoples that excludes the administrative and political consequences of dissent and that represents consent as the only possible outcome. Nonetheless, further research is necessary to understand the resonance of these policy instruments within national legal frameworks and their political, environmental, and cultural effects.Originality: The article challenges the conventional assumptions that the success of supranational policies on Indigenous Peoples’ participation depends on the efficiency of their implementation process. Instead, it proposes a discursive comprehension based on the social practices and power relationships that configurate the policies’ discourse to the detriment of substantial political participation. 2022 artículo científico 0121-5612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=81272227005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/812/81272227005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/812/81272227005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/812/81272227005/81272227005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/812/81272227005/movil 10.7440/colombiaint111.2022.05 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=812 Colombia Internacional application/pdf Universidad de los Andes Colombia Internacional (Colombia) Num.111 |
