Indigenous groups in the Andes region of South America have increasingly protested against neoliberal economic policies promoted since the 1980s, such as privatization of natural resources and free trade agreements. Protests were organized by indigenous and peasant organizations and involved tactics such as road blockades, strikes, and demonstrations. These protests have led to concessions from governments, repeal of neoliberal reforms, new constitutions recognizing indigenous rights, and increased indigenous political representation and control over lands and resources in countries like Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru.
