Item type:Publication, The environmentalization of mining in Colombia, Chile, and Peru: A comparative analysis of green state formation(Elsevier, 2020-11-26)The environmentalization of mining is similar but different in Colombia, Chile, and Peru, and adopting an embeddedness theory framework helps to explain this. Green state formation diffuses because the international political economy demands so: world society embeds the economy and pushes for environmental rights, which leads to trade rules. However, particular institutional and ecological contexts shape the development of distinct varieties of state greening. In particular, the 1970s and 1990s junctures were windows of opportunity for diverse green state formation processes, conditioned by their respective national contexts: there was an early start with decentralized features in Colombia, a late beginning and constrained state formation in Chile, and very late and mostly legal progress in Peru. Environmentalization is highly idiosyncratic, characterized by policy and law progressivism in Colombia, neoliberal technocraticism in Chile, and lawmaking with the lowest bureaucratic autonomy in Peru. Mining being so powerful, its environmental impacts so complex, and green state formation so restricted or minimal, the environmentalization of mining appears formal and discursive for the most part, especially in Peru's weak state. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Rules, institutions and policy capacity: A comparative analysis of lithium-based development in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile(Elsevier BV, 2024-09-17)We carry out a comparative institutional analysis of lithium development in neighboring Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, which together hold over 50 % of world lithium reserves. The comparison reveals that lithium institutional development is subject to lon... - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Greened Dependency and Development: The Political Economy of Energy Transition in Latin America-An Introduction(De Gruyter, 2025-12-01)Would the energy transition mean more of the same for Latin American economies? Classic political economy of development contended that latecomer economic progress was not the outcome of free trade and comparative advantage, that linkages with the domestic economy mattered, and that peripheral capitalism was not doomed to fail. In its possibilist sense, “dependent development” was both diagnosis -of common structural challenges and diverse national paths- and possibility. At the era of global energy transition, we find this overarching perspective of economic development to be still enlightening. The papers collected in this special issue draw on diverse conceptual frameworks within structuralist development theories, especially on renewed concepts of (green) industrial policy and developmentalism, and on a differentiated understanding of the creation of linkages at different scales, a so-called developmental extraction. The contributions analyze development ideas and state action in response to, as well as opportunities and challenges deriving from the energy transition. Analytically, papers cover growth governance, development finance, and industrial policy, which we conceptualize as the main contributing factors to the transition, with case study research focused on new renewable energy and critical mineral policy sectors. Our political economy of peripheral development is interdisciplinary, centered on understanding Latin American varieties of state (in)action in shaping the energy transition economy.2
