Abstract

This chapter examines the context which made it possible for regional environmental cooperation in the Southern Cone of South America to increase significantly from the 1990s onwards, as well as the constraints that explain why it has not become stronger. On the one hand the return to democracy opened up political agendas and strengthened civil society, but on the other hand the adoption of a development model based on export-driven growth and natural resource exploitation has limited the space for the consideration of socio-environmental concerns. Whereas during the 1990s environmental governance has thus been shaped by neoliberal reforms , with the election of the left tide in the 2000s neo-extractivism has come to play an important role.
