进入21世纪以来，气候变化和全球化给乌拉圭西南部地区带来了巨大的环境影响。农村社区对环境挑战的反应受到最近政治权力下放政府和计划的影响。本研究探讨了乌拉圭西南部四个社区权力下放下的社区治理进程如何影响用于适应环境压力的社区资本的动员。研究方法包括 2012 年至 2013 年对来自市场、国家和民间社会的主要知情人进行的半结构化访谈，以及该地区四个社区的当地公众会议和集会的参与者观察和会议纪要。协商促进了国家政府采取适应性行动，使国家政府计划和机构能够更好地满足当地需求。由于下放的资源有限，地方一级适应性行动的社区赋权微乎其微，这加剧了历史上和当前对区域和国家政府机构获取这些资源的依赖。
Since the turn of the 21st century, climate change and globalization had substantial environmental impacts on the southwestern region of Uruguay. Rural community responses to environmental challenges have been influenced by recent political decentralization governments and programs. This study explores how community governance processes under decentralization influenced the mobilization of community capitals used for adaptation to environmental stresses in four communities of southwestern Uruguay. Research methods include semi-structured interviews conducted in 2012–2013 with key informants from market, state, and civil society and participant observation and minutes from local public meetings and assemblies in four communities of this region. Consultation facilitated adaptive actions by the national government to make national governmental programs and institutions more responsive to local needs. Community empowerment for adaptive actions at the local level was minimal, due to the limited resources that have been devolved, reinforcing historic and current dependency on regional and national governmental institutions for those resources.
