Beyond the Green New Deal? Dependency, racial capitalism and struggles for a radical ecological transition in Argentina and Latin America

Abstract

The article is structured as follows. After this brief introduction, we present our analytical framework, providing a succinct discussion on marxian dependency and racial capitalism as key elements of our analysis. Then we engage in a critical dissection of the green developmentalist initiatives to tackle climate change from Argentina. Afterwards, we discuss the strengths and limitations of the Pact, and later on we present some of the main ideas being stressed by radical eco-social collectives and organisations in Argentina. We finish our work with some brief reflections.
