ABSTRACT

This chapter draws the Lofoten and Yasuní-ITT cases together by comparing and contrasting key elements and themes examined in the previous chapters. As a multi-sited and multi-level inquiry, the focus of comparison moves between the cases but also across scales. As interfering networks, Lofoten and Yasuní constitute translocal political processes, which implies tracing links and connections across local, national, and global levels. When comparing the cases, the emphasis is primarily placed on examining similarities and differences across sites by focusing on national and international policies and frameworks. The chapter provides a cross-case analysis of how various encounters between oil and climate influence aspects such as territorializations and spatial ordering, the framing of climate change, and the production of natures and socioenvironmental risk.
