Latin American Perspectives
In the 2000s, Bolivia and Ecuador were marked by battles over natural resources in which mass mobilizations challenged the neoliberal privatization of resources such as water and natural gas. In El Alto and Quito, these mobilizations boosted the public standing of women whose frontline militancy helped confront privatization and build momentum for the election of women to top leadership. Although gender discrimination persisted, women’s activism in these resource battles demonstrated to men their capacity to lead in arenas other than health, family, and education. In the wake of these conflicts, variations in women’s voice—the power to speak, set agendas, and dictate discourse—on the executive councils of popular organizations prove to be determined by societal sexism, leadership and training opportunities for women, the presence of more women on the executive council, the status of the council seats won by women, and the particular organization’s decision-making process.

Urban popular movements that organize illegal land invasion communities present an intriguing puzzle. When most invasion organizations acquire land titles, their participation levels plummet and their agendas stagnate; yet some neighborhoods achieve land titles, sustain high participation, and acquire other services, such as piped-in water. Why do these organizations achieve movement resilience? The more typical trajectory of movement collapse is explained by the disappearance of the key selective incentive, property security. Some organizations, however, evade this “security trap” through mixed motives: their basic material agenda is supplemented by a nonmaterial and often altruistic agenda, which sustains participation in the face of reduced selective incentives. Examining three neighborhood case studies in Lima and Quito, this article argues that a new, “innovator” type of invasion organization is more likely to exhibit sustained participation and movement resilience due to tactical innovation, democratic governance, and mixed motives.

Study of land invasion organizations in Lima and Quito reveals six surprising trends that differ by metropolitan context. Specifically, invasion organizations tend to differ with respect to building materials, original land ownership, the difficulty and consequences of acquiring land titles, strategies for acquiring electricity, and types of neighborhood regimes. A more general contrast also emerges: Lima organizations are more likely to encounter quick initial success followed by gradual decline, while the success of Quito organizations is often more gradual, resulting in long-term organizational survival. These citywide trends can be explained by three factors—public policy, local democratization, and geography and climate—that are often neglected in favor of neighborhood-level explanations.

... Following the massive Indigenous-led protests of January 2009 against the government's mining law and its related water reform bill, Correa revoked the legal status of Environmental Action-a leading non-governmental organization-and announced the closure of several Indigenousrun government offices, including CODENPE. DINEIB was then placed under the control of the Ministry of Education (Dosh and Kligerman 2009;Martínez Novo 2014). This move represented a substantial setback for the Indigenous movement as gaining authority over these two offices had been one of its most significant achievements to date (Lucero 2009). ...

... Changes in the discourse and symbolism of water management -such as the growing emphasis on cost recovery, economic efficiency and the monetary value of water -all reflect the political priorities of hegemonic groups and the wider balance of power in society. Likewise, the international experience demonstrates that success of neoliberalizing strategies in the water sector depends, first and foremost, on the negotiation capacity of government officials and private companies, who often need to persuade a normally sceptical public of the benefits of water neoliberalization (Mustafa & Reeder, 2009;Dosh et al., 2010). Through the application of such a politically sensitive framework, the water sector of Lima provides a vivid example of the contested basis of the adjustments associated with water neoliberalism, as the following discussion reveals. ...

... The intervention of government organizations (GS1-a) impacts the capability of gated communities to organize autonomously. Research demonstrated that the intervention of government organizations (GS1-a) will be occasioned by a negative impact on residents' ability to independently organize management within the community (Dosh andLerager, 2006, cited in Pl€ oger, 2012). However, Zhu et al. (2021) have demonstrated that the neighborhood governance strategy carried out by the Chinese government has played a significant role in the COVID-19 pandemic prevention. ...

... The perpetuation of this process in the cities is configuring a model of socio-spatial segregation (Linares, 2013: 2). In its majority, the existing literature on socio-spatial segregation indicates that it has sequelae that affect, mainly, the levels of employment, educational performance, adolescent maternity, exclusion and social discrimination, environmental degradation and housing-urban deterioration, social deprivation, delinquency and drug addiction (Vargas and Royuela, 2007, Bayer et al., 2004, Charles et al., 2004, Clapp y Ross, 2004, Sabatini, 2003, Dosh, 2003, Burton, 2003, Greenstein et al., 2000. Socio-spatial segregation also has consequences for access to áreas as a product of spatial imbalance (Kein, 2004) between sport and recreation opportunities and the residential location of the low-income population. ...

... According to the findings of Cardoso and Ramos (2016), innovation enables supply chain resilience in two ways: first, it lowers the risk of disruptions occurring, and second, it raises the amount of collaboration among supply chain participants. Dosh (2009) also found that innovation had a positive effect on supply chain resilience. Thus, the first to fourth hypotheses can be formulated as follows: ...
