Abstract
Este artículo analiza el caso de la activista ambiental y científica Vandana Shiva y su visión de una tierra democrática, al tiempo que examina la teoría feminista. Shiva media múltiples realidades de compañías multinacionales de biotecnología, movilizaciones populares y su propia marca de prácticas feministas. El activismo de Shiva muestra la posición intermediaria de mujeres líderes que deben balancear y comunicar asertivamente las relaciones entre el Estado y las corporaciones, mientras al mismo tiempo reivindican un liderazgo moral.
While examining transnational feminist theory, this article scrutinizes the case of environmental activist and scientist Vandana Shiva and her vision of an Earth Democracy. Shiva mediates multiple realities of multinational bio-technology companies, grassroots mobilization and her own brand of feminist praxis. Shiva’s activism shows the in-between position of transnational women leaders who must balance and assertively communicate the relationship between the State and corporations while asserting moral leadership at the same time.
