| Rivers worldwide are undergoing deep ecological transformation as a consequence of changing economics and government policies in energy, water and agriculture resources. Those ecological transformations have affected the livelihood of millions of people worldwide, especially traditional population in developing countries. My work situates these changes at the intersection of Latin America national energy and water politics and the cultural and environmental aspects of traditional populations, especially small-scale fisheries and draws on theories from the disciplines of environmental history, history of science, cultural and environmental anthropology, discourse analysis and science and technology studies.
