Historically, hydropower has served as a symbol of modernization and economic progress, as well as a form of energy security. More recently, it has been adopted as a sustainable climate mitigation strategy. While the rhetorical justification for constructing dams has transitioned through time, the social and ecological consequences that they spawn has remained unchanged, sparking resistance from those impacted. Such is the case in southwestern Costa Rica where I conducted ethnographic fieldwork with the Broran peoples living on Terraba territory. Community members have spent 50 years fighting against a series of three state-proposed hydropower projects that threatened to transform the Terraba river, and subsequently, their cultures, livelihoods, and imaginaries. They successfully stopped each dam, primarily by demanding that the state recognize and enforce their legal rights as Indigenous peoples. Examples of stopping hydropower are rare, especially now that it has been repositioned as a mitigation solution to the climate crisis by policy and decision-makers. As such, this dissertation seeks to understand the contested nature of hydropower development and Indigenous rights as they intersect within the context of climate governance. Through the framework of a climate frontier-spaces of engagement between (dis)interconnected ideologies and epistemologies regarding climate adaptation and mitigation strategies-I examine the assemblage of relationships, frictions, and interactions that occur across local-global scales. Within the climate frontier, I focus on hydrosocial territories, intersecting social-ecological-political-economic factors coproduced through human-water relations. My dissertation builds on more than 14 months of multi-sited, interdisciplinary research in Costa Rica (where policy is enacted) and at climate and hydropower conferences (where policy is produced). Herein, hydropower serves as a catalyst for understanding the realities of conflicting future imaginaries, real and imagined transformations of spaces/places, and the violence that materializes when disparate ideologies converge. The ultimate goal of this research is to inform more equitable and sustainable policies.
