Global production, local protest and the Uruguay river pulp mills project

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.
