Derechos de la Naturaleza, turismo sostenible, imaginarios locales, ecumenismo jurídico, tribunalesResumen
Este artículo examina el papel de los tribunales a la hora de articular imaginarios locales de sostenibilidad, mediante la elaboración de compromisos jurídicos basados en la noción de ecumenismo jurídico. Como concepto, el ecumenismo jurídico refleja el reconocimiento mutuo y la coexistencia no dogmática de normatividades rivales que existen en las sociedades plurales (de Sousa Santos 2020). En otras palabras, se trata de una concepción novedosa del pluralismo jurídico. Partiendo de la controversia sobre el bosque de Te Urewera, el artículo explora cómo el Tribunal de Waitangi aplicó una toma de decisiones basada en el ecumenismo jurídico al reconocer los derechos sobre el bosque y, a su vez, creó un espacio para un imaginario de sostenibilidad propio del pueblo Tūhoe. Esta resolución, que quedó consagrada en la Ley de Te Urewera de 2014, cuestionó el paradigma de conservación anterior en el que se basaba la gobernanza de la Corona y facilitó la integración de los valores ligados al lugar en la gestión del territorio. Enmarcado en los debates críticos sobre el turismo, este artículo sostiene que los imaginarios locales proporcionan una base para enfoques contrahegemónicos de la gobernanza turística, al integrar los valores comunitarios y las relaciones con la naturaleza en la gestión de los recursos. Aunque reconoce los límites del compromiso, concluye que el ecumenismo jurídico tiene el potencial de permitir articulaciones de la sostenibilidad más inclusivas y arraigadas en el contexto local, con el fin de orientar mejor el turismo.
