Abstract
La comunidad wayuu es la comunidad indígena más grande de Colombia. Se
encuentra ubicada en el departamento de La Guajira al norte del país. Es una
comunidad que en su gran mayoría vive en condiciones de pobreza extrema.
En La Guajira, desde el año 1986 se está desarrollando el proyecto minero
Cerrejón, este ha generado amplios impactos en las comunidades que allí
habitan. La presente investigación se concentra en el análisis de los efectos del
proyecto minero Cerrejón en la creación de un nuevo orden social que
transforma los mecanismos participativos utilizados al interior de la comunidad.
Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, se utiliza el enfoque de capacidades y
desarrollo humano, originalmente desarrollado por Amartya Sen, como
herramienta analítica para identificar las transformaciones en el ejercicio de la
capacidad de participación ciudadana causadas por el proyecto. La
metodología utilizada fue cualitativa y participativa. Durante los meses de julio a
septiembre de 2018 se realizaron entrevistas a miembros de la comunidad
wayuu en el municipio de Barrancas al sur de La Guajira, por ser el área donde
se concentra la explotación.

The majority of its inhabitants live in extreme poverty. In La Guajira, the Cerrejón mining project has been developing since 1986, and this has caused a widespread effect in the communities that live there.

To carry out this research, the capabilities approach and human development, originally developed by Amartya Sen, is used as an analytical tool to identify the transformations in the utilization of the capacity of citizen participation caused by the project. The methodology used was qualitative and participatory. During the months of July to September of 2018, interviews were conducted with members of the Wayuu community in the municipality of Barrancas, south of La Guajira, as it is the area where the exploitation is concentrated.
