Yasuní Depends on You: Globalization, the Amazon, and Oil

This simulation is intended to illustrate the dynamics of conflict within the multi-layered global governance structure of the world today in which national governments and international governmental and non-governmental organizations, private corporations, and local citizens negotiate for the creation of new international environmental and energy resource policy. However, Ecuador’s situation provides an optic to the difficulties of managing the global environmental commons of the rainforest and the oil-rich profits that come from it – essentially we are confronting the natural resource curse and its paradox. I invite you to explore the roles within this simulation to better understand your own role as both a global and local citizen.
