Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

The project is an intent to establish new social parameters for a convivial civil society through a research of the basic structures of the ongoing autonomy-processes in indigenous societies of Latin America. It implies both: a systematic learning - throughout approximately two years of field research - from indigenous cultures in six different areas of Latin America and an effort to give scientifically grounded recommendations for a policy aimed at sustainable development and the democratisation of the social environment. The project will try furthermore to state an example for an inter- disciplinary and multicultural research process applicable also to Europe
