Landscapes of extraction and resistance: insights from Central America and Chile

The ÖFSE Development-Lecture “Landscapes of Extractivism and Resistance” with Grettel Navas explores what environmental conflicts reveal about socio-environmental inequalities in Latin America and how local communities resist them.

Drawing on cases from Central America and Chile, Navas analyzes agrarian and mining extractivism, its colonial roots and power asymmetries, as well as collective resistance and its transformative potential.
