Since then, three additional CLAG Yearbooks attempted every decade to identify promising research agendas. This article provides a personal evaluation of these decadal efforts, sometimes labelled “Benchmarks.” It is based in part on the author’s participation in three of the four benchmark volumes, and role as Executive Director (1992-1997) in relocating CLAG and its publication distribution center to Texas. The final volume of the Yearbook in 2002, edited by the author, was also the final benchmark issue, with a streamlined format that was also meant to be sold as a stand-alone book. The article also provides some reflections on the more recent evolution of “agenda-making” in the context of diverse and pluralistic positionalities, after the Yearbook became JLAG.

Every step of this trajectory of archiving involves logistical and ethical problems at both the personal and collective levels. This paper provides thoughts on my personal experiences with these issues and is meant to be provocative rather than prescriptive. Professional organizations should be more involved with brainstorming a range of solutions to these challenges. Abstract Current and future geographic field research will continue to face multiple

Cut flowers have become the premier agricultural export of the high Andes over the last two and a half decades. The expansion of this activity was monitored for a crucial part of this period by the Ecuadorian publicity firm “Marketing Flowers.” A commercial wall map from this association is presented and analyzed in terms of its purposes, makers, and utilization. Maps by commercial or industrial groups, although neglected in the scholarly literature, can be very significant in providing information on the changing cultural landscape as well as promoting the agendas of these actors.
This chapter reproduces and discusses the earliest detailed ethnic map of Ecuador.
Historical Political Ecology can provide more nuanced views of colonialism and modernization, but not all of history (or even contemporary geography) is dominated by those two processes. Ways of reclaiming the broader purview of classical cultural ecology (without its drawbacks) are discussed in terms of pedagogy, and in terms of research on irrigated production in the equatorial Andes.
