TARAPACÁ mon amour
Todo comenzó una vez que fui a campo. Ahí estaba, justo frente a mí. Imponente, total, casi una sandía. Era TARAPACÁ…
Bueno…y así. Ahora diré cosas teóricas—-y al que no le guste, pues, ya será de dios, que de mí no ha quedado, ni se quema uno las pestañas para andar complaciendo a públicos incapaces de toda apreciasión, faltaba más.
Introduction
Currently, two exciting global developments are the energy transition in the "global North "and the role of China as the leading economic partner of extractivist nations in Latin America. Both phenomena have essential effects on the corporation's policies and financial institutions following the new trends of the global discourse of sustainable development (Sachs, 2015). The proposal is to investigate the relationships between environmental institutions and discourses, technical devices, global actors, corporate strategies, and the responses of indigenous communities promoting and resisting development projects in Latin America. The mentioned focus highlights the economic and power constellations that continually reconfigure and reshape global extractivism and its national, regional, and local impacts on communities and people. Thus, the guiding questions will be: how do we understand the new dependencies on natural resources caused by the current energy transition and China's role in the new configurations of extractivism? What new dependencies are forged under these global and regional contexts?
