Abstract

U Latinskoj Americi živi oko 45 milijuna pripadnika autohtonih naroda te oni čine više od 8%
sveukupne populacije. Iako su žrtve diskriminacije još od prvog dolaska Europljana u Novi svijet,
njihova mobilizacija i društveno-političko djelovanje svoj vrhunac postižu krajem 20. stoljeća.
Pokreti autohtonih naroda imali su najviše uspjeha 1990-ih godina, a svrha rada je odgovoriti na
pitanje zašto baš tada. Ujedinjenje protiv neoliberalnih reformi, sve veća demokratizacija društva
te slabljenje političkih stranaka koje se nalaze na lijevoj strani političkog spektra stvorili su uvjete
za jačanje društvenih pokreta, a posljedično i za uspjeh etničkih političkih stranaka koje su iz njih
proizašle. Osim toga, globalizacija je omogućila da se njihov glas čuje i šire od prostora Latinske
Amerike zbog čega su njihovi zahtjevi bili prepoznati od strane međunarodnih institucija, ali i
raznih udruga koje se bore za ljudska prava koje su im postale snažan saveznik. U radu su detaljno
opisani pokreti autohtonih naroda u Boliviji i Ekvadoru te je dan kratki pregled stanja u ostalim
državama sa značajnim brojem autohtonog stanovništva.

Abstract (english)

Latin America is home to 45 million indigenous people who make up more than 8% of the total
population. Despite being victims of discrimination since the first arrival of Europeans to the New
world, their mobilization and socio-political action have achieved its best results only recently.
Indigenous peoples movements had the most success during the 1990s, and the purpose of this
paper is to discover why exactly in that period. Unification against neoliberal reforms, increasing
democratization of society and weakening of the political parties that are on the left side of political
spectrum have created conditions for strengthening of the social movements and the success of the
ethnic political parties that emerged from them. In addition, globalization has allowed their voice
to be heard and spread throughout the world, which is why their demands have been recognized
not only by international institutions, but also by various human rights organizations that have
become their strong allies. The paper describes in detail the movements of indigenous peoples in
Bolivia and Ecuador and also gives a brief overlook of other countries with significant number of
indigenous people.
