Abstract

This article examines global extractivisms and transformative alternatives; addressing: (1) access to and control over resources, (2) governance and recognition, (3) environmental-social harms, and (4) justice. The examination of these themes provides an understanding of the sociospatial links between extractivism and differentiated distribution of benefits and burdens. The study sheds light on the politics of recognition, including the discourses and policies that enable extractive industries to obtain licences to operate in resource-rich territories. The analysis illuminates the inseparability of environmental-social impacts of extractivism, including altered human-nonhuman relations, while opening perspectives to claims for justice and the search for transformative alternatives.

  • Combined, the four features of extractivism lead to a high level of environmental degradation and deleterious labor opportunities and conditions, while also intensifying forms of (neo)colonialism.

    “Combined, these features lead to a high level of environmental degradation and deleterious labor opportunities and conditions, while also intensifying forms of (neo)colonialism (Gudynas 2009; Lang & Mokrani, 2013; Nygren et al., 2022).”

    From The political ecologies of "green" extractivism(s): An introduction (2024) · cites this paper as Nygren et al., 2022

    The Introduction links extractivism to ecological degradation, limited local employment, and a proliferation of subcontracted, temporary, and piecemeal labour. It does not explicitly say that these features intensify (neo)colonialism, nor does it establish the claimed combined effect of four features. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
