“…Dadurch wird eine kontinuierliche Kapitalakkumulation ermöglicht, die zugleich mit Enteignung verbunden sein kann. (Burchardt und Dietz, 2014;Gudynas, 2010). Seit der kolonialen Expansion ist die Ausbeutung von Bodenschätzen eine Schlüsselstrategie der kolonialen und postkolonialen Entwicklung im globalen Sü-den.…”

Kurzfassung. Political ecology approaches examine how the relation between society and nature has historically and geographically evolved through material and discursive practices. This grounds a perspective which explore the social production of nature as a physical foundation of society. This article develops a conceptual framework to integrate the dimension of scale into political ecology. This allows political ecology approaches to understand social processes and the transformation of nature in the context of the production of scale. Against the background of palm oil production in Indonesia this article argues that combing political ecology and scale enhances our understanding of the way in which access to and control over natural resources change over time.

“…The Kirchner government rapidly generated social support based on a progressive discourse and policies aimed at "economic redistribution". The "Kirchnerista" experience was part of the cycle of postneoliberal governments of the previous decade in Latin America (Levistky & Roberts, 2012), questioning the socio-economic consequences of the neoliberal policies of the 1990s and maintaining the necessity of a more active State role in regulating natural resource exploitation, with the objective of channelling these funds into infrastructure and reducing poverty (Burchardt & Dietz, 2014). However, this neo-extractivist model (Svampa & Viale, 2014), in Argentina as in other countries of the region, overlooked socio-environmental questions with respect to mining and left intact the legal framework governing the industry inherited from the 1990s (Cisneros & Christel, 2014).…”

“…Governments at different levels may see their role in supporting extractive industries' access to land if rents, secured in essence by access to that land, constitute an important source of income for the national or regional economy [71,72]. This observation is potentially tied to one we have made based on material flow data: Countries that domestically extract and import raw and semi-processed materials for further processing before export are less dependent on rent as a source of income than those countries with no internal processing capacities.…”

In order to curb environmental impact, absolute resource use reductions are urgently needed. To reach this goal, multi-scalar synergies and trade-offs in global resource use must be effectively addressed. We propose that better understanding the role of extractive economieseconomies that extract raw material for export-in global resource use patterns is a prerequisite to identifying such synergies and trade-offs. By combining a system-wide environmental accounting perspective with insights from political ecology and political economy research, we demonstrate that (1) the extractivist expansion may be the corollary of reduced immediate environmental impact in the industrialized countries; and (2) the material flow patterns on which this result is based do not suffice to identify the mechanisms underlying extractivist development and its role in global resource use. Our work on extractive economies illustrates that, in order to supply transformative knowledge for sustainability transformation, biophysical and socio-political conceptualizations of society-nature relations must be more strongly integrated within the interdisciplinary sustainability sciences in general and social ecology in particular.
