How is this political agency put into practice? And, what are the implications for indigenous autonomy? By doing this comparative case study and asking these questions this thesis will argue, that by introducing a radical form of environmental autonomy, indigenous peoples in Bolivia and Sweden will gain political agency to create an environmental agenda that is based on their ontologies and notions of development. Something that is their collective right as indigenous peoples in theory - and should be in practice. (Less)
