A Comparative Study of the Introduction of Restrictions to Large‐Scale Mining in Four Latin American Countries

Abstract: Institutions are important to enhance the contribution of mining industries not only to economic growth, but also to environmental justice and equality. In this paper, we study the processes by which four Latin American countries modified their existing institutions to manage the effects or large-scale mining in their territories. We focus on the political struggles to introduce legislation to restrict the geographical expansion of large-scale mining in their territories. To this end, we integrate a leading th… Show more

In this case, a successful process of integration will require the activation of mechanisms that provides policy challengers with resources for conflict expansion (Cisneros, 2020 ). Intersubsystem alliances and coalitions can form to take advantage of the court’s decision to define new strategies to challenge the dominant policy.…”

“…The complaint was filed by a group of young people supported by several environmental NGOs.
