Research: Under the guidance of Professor Flora He, I am comparing Bolivia’s forest law to that of eight countries in Latin America: Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. This analysis will contribute to Professor He’s project, “Deforestation as Patronage”, which examines how politicians in Bolivia may strategically enforce (or neglect to enforce) sanctions for illegal deforestation as voter support incentives.
