Recent legislative changes throughout Latin America have produced a swathe of new laws that include multicultural agendas (Stavenhagen 1996). These laws cover a range of areas, including good governance, constitutional reform, decentralisation and resource management. The main objective of multi-ethnic policies is usually to achieve social inclusivity. However, as Lopez’s (1993) study of the evolution of the terms ‘pluri-cultural’, ‘multi-ethnic’ and ‘pluri-national’ in Ecuador during the indigenous uprisings of 1990 and 1992 illustrates, specific terminology emerges as the result of strategic representations made by different groups about particular events and debates. This chapter examines how such processes of representation are becoming important in the context of specific development projects and indicates how the representation of people as ‘indigenous’ or not indigenous — regardless of the validity of these labels — shapes the outcome of the application of new laws.
