L’expérience zapatiste, á treize ans du soulevement armé de 1994
Jérôme BASCHET
The article is an attempt to situate the zapatist struggle in relation to its Mexican and Latin American
models, and to chart its trajectory since January 1 1994. The emphasis is on the conceptions of power proper to the zapatists, both from a theoretical perspective (their refusal to « take power ») and from a practical perspective (the precedent of the autonomy of the Councils of good government). In conclusion, the
article addresses the question of the uncertainties surrounding the present phase of the struggle, a phase
which began with the Sixth Declaration of Selva Lacandona (2005). It also examines the possible meaning
of a new intercontinental meeting for humanity and against neoliberalism, for which the declaration calls.
