Abstract [en]

This article analyzes the impact of a state-run hydroelectric dam in Bolivia on the livelihoods and rights of indigenous communities, particularly concerning land and water. Drawing on an analytical framework of the "bundle of rights," hydro-territorial rights are defined as the norms and practices that regulate access to and use of these resources, which are interconnected with historical struggles and subsistence livelihoods. Despite the progress in ethnic-territorial rights established by the 2009 Constitution, extractivism has expanded, adversely affecting these communities. The Misicuni Multiple Project (PMM), inaugurated in 2017 to provide water and energy, exemplifies the contradictions between state-led development goals and the hydro-territorial rights of Quechua communities. Through observations and interviews, this study investigates the dilemmas and challenges related to these rights, exploring the dynamics of resistance and adaptation in response to the PMM's impacts. The findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach to these rights, one that acknowledges the complex interrelationships between water, land, and livelihoods.

Abstract [es]

Este artículo analiza el impacto de la construcción de una repre-sa hidroeléctrica estatal en Bolivia sobre los modos de vida y derechos de las comunidades indígenas, especialmente en relación con la tierra y el agua. A partir de un modelo teórico-analítico de 'paquetes de derechos', se definen los derechos hidroterritoriales como las normas y prácticas que regulan el ac-ceso y uso de estos recursos, interconectados con luchas históricas y modos de subsistencia. A pesar de los avances en derechos étnico-territoriales esta-blecidos en la Constitución de 20091, el extractivismo ha crecido, afectando negativamente a estas comunidades. El Proyecto Múltiple Misicuni (PMM), inaugurado en 2017, diseñado para proporcionar agua y energía, plantea con-tradicciones entre su objetivo sostenible y los derechos hidroterritoriales de las comunidades quechuas. Este estudio investiga los dilemas y desaf íos rela-cionados con estos derechos, explorando las dinámicas de resistencia y adap-tación frente a los impactos del PMM mediante observaciones y entrevistas. Las conclusiones destacan la importancia de abordar estos derechos de ma-nera holística, reconociendo las complejas interrelaciones entre agua y tierra.
