Resumen:
This paper critically examines the current political context in which
valuation studies of nature are undertaken. It challenges the belief
that somehow, more and technically better valuation will drive the
societal change toward more just and sustainable futures. Instead, we
argue that current and proposed valuation practices risk to continue to
overrepresent the values of those who hold power and dominate the
valuation space, and to perpetuate the discrimination of the views and
values of nondominant stakeholders. In tackling this politically
sensitive issue, we define a political typology of valuations, making
explicit the roles of power and discrimination. This is done to provide
valuation professionals and other actors with a simple framework to
determine if valuation actions and activities are constructive,
inclusive, resolve injustices and enable systemic change, or rather
entrench the status quo or aggravate existing injustices. The objective
is to buttress actors in their decisions to support, accept, improve,
oppose, or reject such valuations.
