“…We have seen how, from COVID-19, states have gained prominence around the world and it is expected that the recovery after the pandemic will take place hand in hand with a strong role and state interventionism. The problem with the latest wave of the extractive boom in Latin America is that governments have been facilitators and promoters of the extractivist model that have had a high environmental impact, and that today are at the center of criticism of the sustainable development discourse [58,64,[69][70][71][72]. Thinking about recovery, the main question will undoubtedly be placed on how states can be drivers of sustainability transformations when they are so involved in a model that has given ample evidence of heading in the opposite direction.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted numerous academic debates about its impact on health and the economy and on possible post-pandemic scenarios across the globe. The discussion has been focused on whether the pandemic will mark a turning point and a unique opportunity to generate radical changes in the economic and productive system, or if the State assistance role will, once again, serve to rescue the capitalist system. There is a common link between these two opposing positions in that there will be a crossroads for the future of humanity, regarding the treatment that will be given to nature. However, some of the most optimistic visions seem to underestimate the different realities that the world presents. This paper proposes a combined analysis about the possible post-pandemic scenarios that are debated at a global level, and the impacts of the pandemic in the context of Latin America to fill an information gap and to aid understanding on what the possible post-pandemic scenarios for Latin America could be. The first findings show that the debates about the post-pandemic future at the global level could be grouped between: the return to “business as usual”; a managed transition; and a paradigm shift. For Latin America, the post-pandemic scenario will be highly conditioned on how the new world order is reconfigured, and moving on a path towards sustainability for the region in the post-pandemic scenario seems to be linked to two possibilities: a kind of revolt or revolution fostered by the social bases; or a solution of a global nature that favors making long-term decisions. If this does not occur, the most likely scenario seems to be a return to business as usual.

“…These problems, along with the questions about the true possibilities of generating a reduction in poverty and better living conditions from this type of development model, have been arduously discussed in Latin America under the meanings of extractivism or neo-extractivism [60,[62][63][64][65][66][67].…”

“…A pesar de los intentos de industrialización y de la diversificación de la economía, el modelo agroexportador y las actividades extractivistas siguen predominando (Delgado, 2016). Las necesidades del mercado internacional posicionan nuevamente a Latinoamérica en poco más que oferente de espacios y territorios rurales para la extracción de hidrocarburos, minerales, biodiversidad y alimentos.…”

“…Es cierto que en los últimos quince años se generó un surgimiento de gobiernos de carácter progresista en países referentes dentro de Latinoamérica que intentaron impulsar políticas de conjunto para la región y transformar la estructura productiva (Delgado, 2016). Pero al mismo tiempo, la intención de establecer Estados con un rol activo e intervencionista se vio dificultada por el conflicto de intereses con los principales grupos de concentración de poder que históricamente han dominado en cada país.…”

La necesidad de establecer modelos de desarrollo de largo plazo que permitan superar problemáticas y deficiencias estructurales, que fortalezcan la soberanía y propicien la igualdad y la equidad social, ha estado en el centro del debate político y académico en los últimos años para América Latina. Sin embargo, en tiempos recientes se ha evidenciado un proceso de expansión económica y territorial que ha generado desequilibrios territoriales, grandes problemáticas ambientales y una elevada conflictividad social que han dificultado el alcance de este gran objetivo. El trabajo realizado propuso evaluar qué elemento y factores representan los mayores obstáculos para consolidar modelos de desarrollo soberanos, y al mismo tiempo discutir el efectivo dominio de los territorios y recursos de los Estados latinoamericanos y la capacidad verdadera de llevar adelante una gestión política territorial. A través de un abordaje teórico y un análisis de casos, los resultados alcanzados han permitido identificar diversas problemáticas comunes a la mayoría de los países, establecer algunas consideraciones respecto a la importancia de mejorar la gestión territorial como estrategia para fortalecer la soberanía de cada Estado; y plantear algunos desafíos a futuro para construir una visión de conjunto para la región frente al contexto internacional.

“…The first originates in the mining and energy sectors and comprises precious metals, oil, gas and mineral exploitation, which are earmarked primarily for export ( Figure 12.1). The second is generated in the agriculture sector and comprises large monocrop plantations, which are usually managed by big companies (Ornelas, 2016).…”

Territories in Dispute: Tensions between ‘Extractivism’, Ethnic Rights, Local Governments and the Environment in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru

Alternative Pathways to Sustainable Development: Lessons From Latin America

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter studies the underlying tensions between 'extractivism' , decentralisation processes, the recognition of ethnic rights, and the protection of the environment in four countries in Latin America. Two of them, Bolivia and Ecuador, adhere to so-called twenty-first century socialism, while the other two, Colombia and Peru, apply policies driven by neo-liberalism. This 'major ideological fissure' , however, does not imply significant differences in terms of dependence on the extractives industry and its social, institutional and political consequences; nor does it explain differences in terms of the relationships between extractivism, decentralisation, and the governments' policies concerning the environment and ethnic rights.
