JIMENEZ MONTERO, Manuel de Jesús; RAMIREZ VALVERDE, Benito  y  MARTINEZ DAVILA, Juan Pablo. CONSTRUCTION OF TERRITORIES IN DONOSO, PANAMA. THE PERIOD BETWEEN 1970 AND 2008. hist.crit. [online]. 2012, n.48, pp.111-136. ISSN 0121-1617.

This article analyzes the historical process of appropriation of territory by the actors of the region of Donoso, Panama over the last four decades. We argue that under these regional dynamics the conflict over the use of natural resources is highlighted. While in the i97os a proposal prioritizing agricultural development was developed, later actions by the state leaned towards deterritorializing peasant communities. As a response, an emergent peasant social movement outlined its own proposal of land use.

Palabras clave : Panama; peasant class; social movement; rural development.
