Studies in Comparative Energy and Environmental Politics: The Politics of Extraction, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In The Politics of Extraction, Maiah Jaskoski traces how mobilized communities in Latin America's hydrocarbon and mining regions utilize participatory institutions to challenge extraction. In some cases, communities act within formal participatory spaces, while in others, they organize "around" or "in reaction to" these institutions, employing participatory procedures as focal points in the escalation of conflict. Based on an analysis of thirty major extractive conflicts in Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru in the 2000s and 2010s, Jaskoski provides the first systematic study of how participatory institutions either channel or exacerbate conflict over extraction.
