THEORETICAL APPROACH TO THE AWAJÚN INTERCULTURAL GOVERNANCE MODEL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

This study aimed to explore scientific studies published between 2021 and 2024 on the Scopus and Scielo platforms on intercultural governance. To carry out this purpose, 12 articles selected from these databases were reviewed. When analyzing the results, a significant lack of theories related to the topics studied was noted, which seems to be related to the high amount of empirical research on which the articles focused. In addition, three key areas of research were identified: foreign language proficiency, the intercultural context, and the interaction with decentralized public policies and governments in power. Finally, it was concluded that the most relevant articles are mainly found in Scopus, and that intercultural governance emerges as a crucial tool to promote inclusive, equitable development that respects different cultures. For this approach to be truly effective, it is essential that indigenous peoples are not only considered beneficiaries of policies, but active and fundamental participants in the creation of a future that values their rights and meets their needs.
