This chapter addresses the clash between the local and the global and the way in which local activists resist economic globalization – what Heine and Thakur identify in the Introduction as “glocalization”. Drawing upon literature on environmental contention and civil society-centred approaches to environmental foreign policy (Barkdull and Harris 2009), it shows how local environmental protest in the Argentine province of Entre Ríos forced a change in the national government’s environmental foreign policy and translated into a major diplomatic controversy between Argentina and Uruguay.
