Objective/Context: During the eighteenth century, officials from different colonial powers attempted to turn the viceroyalty of the New Kingdom of Granada—present-day Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama—into an economically viable territory. The Spanish Crown embraced its most radical jurisdictional reform in centuries to exercise effective state control, extract more revenue, and defend the colonies from foreign incursions. This article explores the particularities of New Granada’s economic governance and argues that colonial officials produced local discourses of political economy to turn unfamiliar spaces into familiar places for economic, political, and military ends. In doing so, producing knowledge about the land and its resources became a key bureaucratic practice that shaped the imagining of a paradoxical territoriality in Northern South America. First, I detail the impact of political economy frameworks on imperial governance and bureaucratic practices. I then showcase how administrative narratives, mapping projects, and fiscal networks reveal the workings of Bourbon economic governance and the search for regional integration. Methodology: This article is built from an analysis of archival documents consisting of a selection of evidence from chorographic texts about New Granada and its provinces produced between 1720 and 1808. Originality: Reflecting on the ways in which the pursuit of knowledge for wealth creation affected the creation of territorialities contributes to uncovering how the imperial political economy was never a top-down imposition. Local officials negotiated it vis-à-vis singular geographical realities and knowledge production practices. Conclusions: Chorographic texts were central devices of imperial reform. The search for wealth production and territorial integration occurred in colonial outposts, not in intellectual treatises in Europe. In forging New Granada as an integrated, potentially rich place, bureaucrats’ experience of moving across the territory and inscribing the landscape on paper shaped perceptions of cohesion and difference, economic dependence, and regional fragmentation.

Indigenous leaders are key players for the survival of the indigenous peoples of Colombia, who are at risk of physical and cultural extermination due to the armed conflict and its related factors. This paper critically analyzes the adoption and implementation of differential ethnic approach in the protection of indigenous leaders. The protection program for human rights defenders – including indigenous leaders- in charge of the National Protection Unit of the Ministry of Interior is analyzed in depth. Dilemmas of protecting indigenous leaders as such, in all its specificity and not as any citizens, are also studied. The paper ends with some conclusions and recommendations aiming an effective inclusion of a differential ethnic approach in protecting indigenous leaders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to examine the socio-political and territorial dynamics in the implementation of new interventions at the local field. In terms of citizen participation and decentralization, various local initiatives are considered in three districts in the metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Moron and San Miguel). It thus seeks to explain the specific territorial and institutional differences into the processes of construction and reproduction of local political order in each case and into the dynamics and outcomes of these public interventions developed in recent years.
