Abstract (sommario):
Development projects at the national level in Latin American countries are linked with the needs of global transnational extractive-rentier capital accumulation. The concept of unequal geographic development is useful for understanding the articulation between the strategies of transnational capital in the extraction of minerals, hydrocarbons, and agri-foods and the national-scale development projects expressed in the political and economic configurations of the states of the region. This articulation must be approached in terms of the conflictive relations between dominant and subaltern actors and the way in which they are expressed in the structure of the state. Analysis of three concrete cases of subaltern struggles against the strategies of extractive-rentier transnational capital (Peru, Ecuador, and Argentina) reveal the limits and possibilities of transcending local-level disputes to produce a development project that is an alternative to extractivism on the national and continental levels. Los proyectos de desarrollo a escala nacional de los países de América Latina están vinculados con las necesidades de la acumulación global del capital transnacional extractivo-rentista. El concepto de desarrollos geográficos desiguales ayuda a comprender la articulación existente entre las estrategias del capital transnacional que se ubica en la extracción de minerales, hidrocarburos y agro-alimentos y los proyectos de desarrollo a escala nacional que se expresan en las configuraciones políticas y económicas de los estados de la región. Dicha articulación entre escalas debe abordarse a partir de las relaciones conflictivas entre actores dominantes y subalternos y la forma concreta en que estas relaciones se expresan en la estructura estatal. Un análisis de tres casos concretos de luchas subalternas de oposición a las estrategias del capital transnacional extractivo-rentista (Perú, Ecuador y Argentina) revela los límites y las posibilidades de traspasar las disputas en el plano local para posicionar un proyecto de desarrollo alternativo al extractivismo en escala nacional y continental.

Abstract (sommario):
Since the turn of the century, Colombia has become increasingly dependent on mining exports to drive economic growth. While the surge in mining investments in Colombia and the problems associated with this form of economic development have received much attention from scholars and policy analysts, the common explanation is that the state has been undermined or eroded by emergent global forces. However, nation-states should be seen not as victims but as authors and enforcers of new processes of capital accumulation. The Colombian state has acted as the principal guarantor of the political and territorial conditions necessary for this form of extractive capitalism by reconstituting property and contract laws, signing free-trade agreements, reconfiguring the internal state apparatus. and expanding military forces. Desde el principio del siglo, Colombia se ha vuelto cada vez más dependiente de las exportaciones mineras para impulsar el crecimiento económico. Si bien el aumento de las inversiones mineras en Colombia y los problemas asociados con esta forma de desarrollo económico han recibido mucha atención por parte de académicos y analistas de políticas, la explicación común es que el estado ha sido socavado o erosionado por las fuerzas globales emergentes. Sin embargo, los Estados-nación deberían ser vistos no como víctimas sino como autores y ejecutores de nuevos procesos de acumulación de capital. El estado colombiano ha actuado como el principal garante de las condiciones políticas y territoriales necesarias para esta forma de capitalismo extractivo mediante la reconstitución de las leyes de propiedad y contratos, la firma de acuerdos de libre comercio, la reconfiguración del aparato estatal interno, y la expansión de fuerzas militares.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract How do global inequities inherited from the past continue to profit some people and devastate the lives and lands of others? How is the contemporary physical environment suffused with traces of colonialism and how do its infrastructures accommodate neocolonial practices of extractive capitalism? What can artists, designers, and architects do to expose injustice and call for structural change? These are some of the questions the Congolese artist Sammy Baloji discusses with Dr. Becca Voelcker in a critical conversation about climate resilience and justice that considers colonial history and our extractive capitalist present.

Abstract (sommario):
In this article the «extractive capitalism», the «extractive imperialism» and the «imperialism» are analyzed in order to clear out the confusion on the debate about neoextractivism caused by the interchangeable usage of these concepts. Urgent attention is required to reinforce the comprehension about the underlying class struggle in the extractive industries. The strating point is the counterpoint developed by Petras and Veltmeyer about the theorical and political issues of the state role in their review concerning the theory of neoextractivism. In order to understand their arguments is necessary to involve the three concepts. Their analysis about the relation between capitalism and imperialism is crucial to understand the extractive capitalism and the extractive imperialism. The argument is that the extractivism is the incarnation of a particular form of productive activity in the capitalist era that deepens the capitalism in the capitalist periphery. The extraction of natural resources is not a purely capitalist process or imperialist; the human beings have extracted their livelihood from the nature since the primitive communalism until the current capitalism. It is not the specific productive activity of extracting natural resources, that is capitalist or imperialist, since the capitalism, and by extension, the imperialism is associated with a variety of productive activities. The productive activity must have a place inside a capital-work salaried nexus in order to belong to a capitalist kind. Some of the first expositions about the definitions of this concepts are reviewed to help the activists to have a clear comprehension about the debate of the neoextractivism.

Abstract (sommario):
Contemporary scholarship on neoliberal globalization and countermovement tends to focus on the global dimension of political struggles. The role of nationalist imaginaries in mobilizing grievances against neoliberal globalization receives little attention in this literature. This article probes these ideas using the case of NCBD, known for its political struggles against global extractive capital in Bangladesh. Drawing on critical globalization scholarship vis-à-vis the power of the state and the ability of countermovements to contest neoliberal globalization, the article analyzes how NCBD’s political imaginaries center on nature, nation, and the state to achieve its movement agenda. Based on qualitative data derived from a set of interviews and relevant organizational documents, it demonstrates the relevance of national scale as a movement site in mediating local and global questions for emancipatory political struggles. It explains how NCBD articulates nationalist imaginaries to mobilize a political vision of the “national” in an era of neoliberal globalism.

Abstract (sommario):
While there is a growing literature on the phenomenon of land seizure by agribusiness and extractive industries, and their disastrous social and ecological effects around the world, there is often a shroud of vagueness and mystification about the concrete practices by which extractive companies come to gain access to the land itself. This is especially true since these companies increasingly veil their activities in plausible claims of “social responsibility.” This article documents the strategies by which foreign and especially Canadian capital has been grabbing and maintaining its control over land for mega-developments in Honduras, with an eye to the ways in which different tactics are adapted to each particular context in which they are applied. The purpose is to demonstrate the flexibility and complexity of these strategies and to lay the groundwork for future studies of these concrete practices in order to supplement the existing literature on land seizure.

Abstract (sommario):
This paper considers the relevance of Nicos Poulantzas’ theory of the state to debates about hydrocarbon extraction and environmental assessment in Canada. I begin with a brief summary of Poulanztas’ work, followed by an overview of the politics of hydrocarbon extraction in Canada. Next, I examine recent public policy debates about the assessment and regulation of energy extraction in Canada. These debates, which focus on the concept of “regulatory capture,” fall victim to many of the problems Poulantzas identifies with instrumentalist approaches to the state. Critical accounts of regulatory capture have helped expose the fact that oil companies exercise an incredible degree of control over the Canadian state. However, it offers limited guidance for long-term strategies to confront extractive capital. In the section on “Environmental assessment and extractive hegemony,” I draw on Poulantzas to examine recent academic debates about the role of environmental assessment in the reproduction of extractive capitalism in Canada. Scholars have shown a more nuanced understanding of the power dynamics at play in the assessment and regulation of energy projects in Canada. Nevertheless, engagement with Poulantzas’ work can help deepen and expand these critiques, especially his emphasis on the role of state-organized material concessions in producing consent to capitalism.

Abstract (sommario):
Extractive activities are traditional for the Bulgarian economy and are part of the economic activity of the population since the establishment of the Bulgarian state. As an autonomous sector of the economy, they are approved after 1878. The initial extractive activities are carried out with the direct participation of foreign capital, mainly French, German and Belgian. The extraction of raw materials has always been among the priority economic areas. Not surprisingly with the first economic laws adopted by the Bulgarian Government is supported its development. A typical example in this respect is the law on the promotion of the local industry since 1909. Among the promotion activities are mining, metal industry, as well as the quarry and that for the processing of soil materials. The mining industry is an indispensable part of the structure of the Bulgarian economy, regardless of its transformations.

Gilbert, Paul Robert. "Money mines : an ethnography of frontiers, capital and extractive industries in London and Bangladesh". Thesis, University of Sussex, 2016. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/60593/.
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis draws on over eighteen months of multi-sited fieldwork carried out in London and Dhaka, among geologists, lawyers, fund managers, engineers, and private sector development consultants intent on securing profitable extractive opportunities in new ‘frontier' markets, and among public intellectuals and politicians in Dhaka who oppose the development of Bangladesh's energy resources by foreign corporations. The thesis contributes to a recently revitalized anthropological political economy and engages critically with the actor–network theory-inspired ‘social studies of finance'. By tracing ethnographically the production of extractive industry capitalism, I show that capital is not merely free–flowing or reproduced by its own inevitable logic. Rather, the movement and accumulation of capital is facilitated by distinct forms of knowledge production, such as political risk analysis and the emergent field of Corporate Diplomacy, and by historically constituted legal norms, most notably those of investor–state arbitration. Equally, I show that the calculative capacities exercised by financial analysts and fund managers have material consequences far beyond those normally considered by scholars in the social studies of finance, who tend to confine their analyses to the ‘bounded fieldsites' provided by bank dealing rooms or stock exchange trading floors. Methodologically, this thesis defends the notion that ethnographically tracing the generation of extractive industry capitalism demands a rejection of the recent ‘post–critical' turn in the ethnography of experts and elite groups. Ultimately, I argue that what allows extractive industry capitalism to be generated is the subordination of the sovereignty of ‘frontier' states to the sovereignty of transnational extractive corporations. This subordination is supported by the norms of international arbitration, and is the source of the perceived ‘investment climate' stability that ultimately allows extractive industry capitalists to attract speculative investment for resource exploration in new ‘frontiers'.

Abstract (sommario):
A crença na capacidade do mercado de Produtos Florestais Não Madeireiros (PFNMs) em conciliar a conservação de florestas tropicais e o desenvolvimento de populações extrativistas resultou na implementação de diversos programas com esta finalidade na Amazônia brasileira. Dentre esses programas é cada vez mais comum o estabelecimento de parcerias entre comunidades extrativistas que comercializam PFNMs com empresas. No entanto, estudos têm evidenciado que o mercado de PFNMs apresenta impactos tanto na esfera ambiental como no âmbito socioeconômico das comunidades envolvidas. Sobre os efeitos socioeconômicos, não estão claros quais os efeitos deste mercado nas estratégias de compartilhamento de recursos e cooperação produtiva entre unidades domésticas, as quais têm funções econômicas e sociais para a subsistência, em especial no caso das unidades mais vulneráveis. Partindo dessa questão central foi testada a hipótese de que a exposição ao mercado de PFNMs afeta essas instituições cooperativas, trazendo consequências negativas para a segurança de subgrupos mais vulneráveis economicamente. Para isso foi feito um estudo comparativo entre duas comunidades que compartilham o mesmo histórico e estão localizadas em condições ambientais e geográficas semelhantes na Reserva Extrativista do Médio Juruá no Estado do Amazonas Brasil, mas que diferem com relação à exposição ao mercado de PFNMs. Enquanto a comunidade do Roque comercializa óleos vegetais com empresas de cosméticos, Pupuaí mantém práticas econômicas locais. As técnicas para coleta de dados incluíram painel de observações sistemáticas, surveys, diagnóstico rural participativo e entrevistas estruturadas e semi-estruturadas. Os resultados indicam que o compartilhamento de recursos é menos frequente na comunidade inserida no mercado de PFNMs, porém este efeito não é perceptível na avaliação transversal entre unidades domésticas com diferentes graus da inserção ao mercado. Portanto, as mudanças no compartilhamento de recursos foram observadas somente no nível entre comunidades e a hipótese foi apenas parcialmente aceita. Com relação aos efeitos sobre unidades domésticas mais vulneráveis este estudo apresentou dois resultados principais. Em primeiro lugar há um padrão distinto de compartilhamento de recursos entre as comunidades. Isto é, na comunidade com mercado de PFNMs as unidades vulneráveis receberam mais recursos, enquanto na comunidade menos exposta ao mercado foi observado o oposto. Mas, devido à menor frequência de eventos cooperativos observados na comunidade inserida no mercado, ainda assim suas unidades vulneráveis receberam menos recursos quando comparadas com as unidades vulneráveis da comunidade menos exposta ao mercado. O segundo resultado é que as unidades mais vulneráveis da comunidade com mercado de PFNMs participaram de interações cooperativas com menos unidades distintas quando comparadas com aquelas da comunidade sem mercado e, portanto, têm menor capital social para recorrer em situações de risco ou escassez de recursos. No entanto, para avaliar se a redução no comportamento cooperativo afeta o bem-estar das unidades mais vulneráveis seria necessário avaliar se a demanda de consumo das unidades vulneráveis são melhor atendidas na comunidade inserida no mercado de PFNMs ou naquela menos exposta ao mercado.The belief in the capacity of Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) to reconcile the double aim of providing for the well-being of extractive communities and conserving tropical forests resulted in the implementation of various programs with this purpose in the Brazilian Amazon. Among these programs it is increasingly common the adoption of partnerships between extractive communities and companies to trade NTFPs. Recently, however, several studies have highlighted the shortcomings of trading NTFP, regarding both biological conservation and the well-being of communities. Within the context of well-being impacts, there is a fear the increased integration of largely autarkic communities into NTFP markets can disrupt cooperation strategies and sharing practices, which have economic and social functions to peasant economies, particularly for more vulnerable households. In this study, we focus on this issue and advance the hypothesis that increased trade in NTFP may disrupt those cooperative institutions, bringing negative consequences to the security of the most economically vulnerable subgroups. To test this hypothesis, we compare two communities of the Médio Juruá Extractive Reserve, Brazilian Amazonia, which share the same historical background and similar environmental and geographic conditions, but differ in relation to NTFP trade. While Roque community trades vegetable oils with cosmetics companies, Pupuaí carries on with previous economic practices. Data gathering techniques included random systematic observations, household surveys, participatory rural appraisal and structured and semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that the community integrated into NTFP markets has fewer cooperative events than the community less market integrated. Despite that, no pattern is observed when we compare the association between levels of market participation among households. Therefore, we concluded the hypothesis was only partially accepted, because the changes in sharing practices are observable only at the community level. When we evaluate the effects of cooperation networks on more vulnerable households, we find two main results. First, we find a different pattern between the two communities as regards vulnerable households. While more vulnerable households benefit more from cooperative events in the community integrated into NTFPs, the opposite is observed in the community less exposed to markets. Even so, because the frequency of cooperation is much lower in the community trading NTFPs, these differences mean more vulnerable households still get fewer payoffs from cooperation than in the community less market integrated. Secondly, households from the community trading NTFPs, besides cooperating less frequently, also do so with a smaller number of different households when compared with the community less integrated to markets, which means their networks of social capital are weaker. It is therefore not yet clear in which community the human needs of vulnerable households are better fulfilled in order to ascertain whether the reduction on cooperative behavior diminishes their well-being.

Abstract (sommario):
ABSTRACT: Cette recherche vise à interroger les formes à travers lesquelles l’articu- lation entre production artistique-culturelle et production capitaliste de l’espace urbain, s’est réalisée dans le contexte parisien, marqué par des pratiques d’intervention néocoloniale, en prenant en considération un temps long (xixe et xxe siècles).En retraçant les moments de rupture et de rencontre avec les processus d’accumulation et en suivant les territoires existentiels traversés, nous es- sayons de tracer le chemin qui a conduit certains mouvements artistiques à renverser le paradigme de l’art institutionnel et à construire un agence- ment entre production esthétique et production sociale. La restructura- tion capitaliste néolibérale des années 1980-1990 a investi cet agencement après la destruction des mouvements révolutionnaires des années 1960- 1970. Le dépassement de l’art, envisagé par les mouvements artistiques radicaux, s’est transformé en une nouvelle séparation à travers la rupture avec les classes jugées dangereuses, cible des stratégies de gouvernement, en se traduisant, dans les années 2000, dans un dépassement phantasma- gorique, dans la soi-disant ville créative. À la base des processus de ségré- gation / identification se trouve le dispositif cartographique qui structure les stratégies coloniales et néocoloniales d’organisation de l’espace urbain. L’accumulation primitive continue est une des clefs de lecture des proces- sus prises en considérationIn this research, I genealogically trace the progressive emergence of an articulation between artistical-cultural production and capitalist pro- duction in the urban shaping of Paris. I retain a long time (19th and 20th centuries) . At first, I consider how the early 2000s smart city model ab- sorbed and domesticated the radical claim by 1960s aesthetic movements to overcome art as a contemplative relationship. Whereas those move- ments posited the intimate connection between aesthetic and social pro- duction, the city following the capitalist restructuration present itself as a« fantasmagoric » unity. I then retrieve the deep conflicts structuring such apparent unity showing how contemporary urbanscape directly reorgan- ized colonial technologies, such as cartography and identification. The colonial matrix of urban governance highlights that segregating policies are at the heart of the aesthetic model of structuring both social partici- pation and neo-colonial exclusion within the contemporary urban space. Continuous primitive accumulation is a reading key of the process taken into consideration

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis investigates the pattern of Financial Instrument Disclosures (FIDs) within the annual reports of Australian listed extractive resource companies (mining and petroleum) over a four year longitudinal period encompassing the 2003 to 2006 financial years. This is an important period to investigate FID patterns as it encompasses those years leading up to and immediately following formal adoption of the Australian equivalents to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).Using an index (FIDI) comprising 120 items of financial instrument information to measure the extent of FIDs, there is a statistically significant increase in disclosures over the four year period with the greatest percentage increase occurring on transition to IFRS. Under IFRS, direct comparability with firms internationally can be made. Although the financial instrument disclosure requirements are the same pre- and post- IFRS adoption, the introduction of a new form of regulation makes a difference to managements’ financial reporting disclosure incentives. Total financial instrument disclosures, as measured by FIDI, increased from 34% in Yr 1 (year ending 31 December 2002 or year ending 30 June 2003) to 52% in Yr 4 (year ending 31 December 2005 or 30 June 2006), the latter representing the first full year annual reporting period under IFRS. Similar trends are observed for mandatory financial instrument disclosures (comprising 57 items) and discretionary financial instrument disclosures (comprising 63 items).The results of the main model regression analysis demonstrate that the independent variables of corporate governance, capital management, overseas listing and income tax characteristics of firms are factors which are variably significantly associated with FID patterns for panel data. Statistically significant associations are achieved for pooled regression results. Control variables comprising firm size, leverage, top 20 shareholder concentration, sub-industry and return on assets are statistically significant predictor variables of financial instrument disclosures. In contrast, overseas stock exchange listing of firms and additional income tax characteristics that are related to financial reporting transparency are found to be significantly negatively associated with FID patterns.Discrete items that comprise FIDI are individually statistically significantly associated with the independent and control variables. Similarly, discrete items that comprise the independent variable scores are individually statistically significant predictor variables of financial instrument disclosures. This thesis contributes to an understanding of the extent, trends and rationale behind resource firms’ financial instrument disclosure practices in Australia. Further, this thesis examines the association of financial instrument disclosures with corporate governance, capital management, overseas listing and income tax characteristics of firms leading up to and immediately following IFRS adoption in Australia.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the forces driving a series of momentous transformations to Indonesia�s production and distribution systems since early colonial rule. The analysis of these forces is anchored in four conceptual themes: the basis of these systemic transformations, their politico-economic ordering as driven by a surplus-creation imperative, labour�s role in this imperative and its response to the �ordering�, and the mode of production as the historical setting within which the transformations occur. This thesis illuminates an analytical gap in the literature by nominating labour as the key force in wealth-creation and recognising its active role in challenging ruling appropriation regimes and in the broader social struggles against exploitation and oppression. The thematic focus defines the boundaries for an exploration of successive colonial and post-colonial ruling regimes. Early chapters examine how the Dutch penetrated the Indonesian politico-economy, entrenching their systems of production organisation and creating an exclusionary system of wealth appropriation. Appropriation systems are characterised by transitions in European political and economic systems, especially from mercantilism to industrial capitalism. The entrenchment of colonial power is considered in relation to the expansion of capitalist organisation in Indonesia. The state�s stimulation of this expansion is associated with an undermining of the country�s reproductive base and a growing challenge to foreign rule. The Japanese occupying force� demolition of colonial productive and distributive linkages and encouragement of independence activism is connected with a post-war struggle for independence. Links are drawn between colonial rule and the tensions and organisational difficulties faced by Republican regimes leading up to the New Order�s re-establishment of a strict regulatory regime, and the development of an indigenous system of capitalist organisation. The surplus-generation and appropriation perspective informs the evolution of Indonesia�s productive and economic systems across colonial and post-colonial epochs and the challenges to the system of social and production regulation that heralded the destabilisation of New Order rule and the rise of the contemporary era of political democracy.

The two studies presented in this dissertation examine incentives for groundwater extraction and their resulting effect on aquifer depletion. Both studies apply dynamic optimization methods in a context of irrigated agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions such as in western Kansas. The first study examines the effects of capital subsidies aimed at increasing irrigation application efficiency. The second study examines the effects of changing incentives posed by changes in climatic patterns and by technical progress in the form of increasing crop water productivity. Both studies have significant policy and groundwater management implications. Subsidies for the adoption of (more) efficient irrigation technologies are commonly proposed and enacted with the goal of achieving water conservation. These subsidies are more politically feasible than water taxes or water use restrictions. The reasoning behind this type of policy is that increased application efficiency makes it possible to sustain a given level of crop production per acre with lower levels of groundwater pumping, all else equal. Previous literature argues that adoption of more efficient irrigation systems may not reduce groundwater extraction. Rewarding the acquisition of more efficient --and capital intensive-- irrigation equipment affects the incentives farmers have to pump groundwater. For instance, the farmer may choose to produce more valuable and water intensive crops or to expand the irrigated acreage after adopting the more efficient irrigation system. Hence, the actual impact of the policy on overall groundwater extraction and related aquifer depletion is unclear. The first chapter examines the effects of such irrigation technology subsidies using a model of inter-temporal common pool groundwater use with substitutable technology and declining well-yields from groundwater stocks, where pumping cost and stock externalities arise from the common property problem. An optimal control analytical model is developed and simulated with parameters from Sheridan County, Kansas-- a representative region overlying the Ogallala aquifer. The study contrasts competitive and optimal allocations and accounts for endogenous and time-varying irrigation capital on water use and groundwater stock. The analysis is the first to account for the labor savings from improved irrigation technologies. The results show that in the absence of policy intervention, the competitive solution yields an early period with underinvestment in efficiency-improving irrigation technology relative to the socially efficient solution, followed by a period of over-investment. This suggests a potential role for irrigation capital subsidies to improve welfare over certain ranges of the state variables. In contrast to previous work, the findings are evidence that significant returns may be achieved from irrigation capital subsidies. Finally, a policy scenario is simulated where an irrigation technology subsidy is implemented to explore whether such a program can capture significant portions of the potential welfare gain. Results indicate that the technology subsidy can improve welfare, but it captures a relatively small portion of the potential gains in welfare. The second chapter presents a dynamic model of groundwater extraction for irrigation where climate change and technical progress are included as exogenous state variables-- in addition to the usual state variable of the stock of groundwater. The key contributions of this study are (i) an intuitive description of the conditions under which groundwater extraction can be non-monotonic, (ii) a numerical demonstration that extraction is non-monotonic in an important region overlying the Ogallala Aquifer, and (iii) the predicted gains from management are substantially larger after accounting for climate and technical change. Intuitively, optimal extraction is increasing in early periods when the marginal benefits of extraction are increasing sufficiently fast due to climate and technical change compared to the increase in the marginal cost of extraction. In contrast, most previous studies include the stock of groundwater as the only state variable and, consequently, recommend a monotonically decreasing extraction path. In this study, the numerical simulations for a region in Kansas overlying the Ogallala Aquifer indicate that optimal groundwater extraction peaks 23 years in the future and the gains from management are large (29.5%). Consistent with previous literature, the predicted gains from management are relatively small (6.1%) when ignoring climate and technical change. The realized gains from management are not substantially impacted by incorrect assumptions of climate and technical change when formulating the optimal plan.

Abstract (sommario):
Colombia is the worst country to be a trade unionist in the world. Approximately 3,000 workers have been assassinated in the last 30 years, the state, paramilitary organizations and some multinationals being responsible for most of the murders. This fact highlights the importance of researching the mechanisms of mass violence against trade unionists including the mechanisms on part of the trade unionists that keep trade unionism alive. Because of the importance of studying power and resistance as part of social change, this thesis presents an ethnography of political violence against the labourers and the trade unionists that work for Pacific Rubiales Energy in the department of Meta, with focus on how those trade unionists resist such violence with an open resistance to both political violence and coercive capital accumulation. I state that the trade unionists, by adapting their list of demands to the locals' social and environmental needs, overstep corporatist trade unionism allowing them to break the social and physical death imposed by the state, the mafias and the multinational. I argue that the trade unionists' open resistance not only allows them to continue their social struggle and to challenge the violence exerted against them, but permits them to modernize a country that sustains a semi-feudal structure beneficial for the multinationals, the mafia barons and the economic and political elites by challenging their corrupt and murderous relations.

Abstract (sommario):
The detrimental consequences associated with industrial models of food production are becoming more difficult to ignore. In response, one dominant approach to mitigating the myriad environmental, social, and ethical harms relating to food has sought to increase the efficiency of agricultural outputs through scientific and technological innovation. Although technology certainly has some role to play in any vision of a sustainable future, technocratic approaches to problem solving are insufficient—and arguably inappropriate—for addressing many of the kinds of complex challenges that we face today.
There are recent indications that both agri-food law and policy and innovation policy are being taken more seriously in Canada, which creates an opportunity to reflect more deliberately on their ends and means. This dissertation explores the topic of how laws, policies, and other tools of governance can work to better align technological innovations in the agri-food sector with shared environmental goals and ethical aspirations. Taking a critical legal perspective closely informed by feminist insights and the work of existing, analogous justice movements, I examine several interlinkages between technology, law, the environment, and society to evaluate some of the failings of existing approaches to food systems transformation and to offer a contribution to the conversation about alternative pathways. Given the context-specific nature of food systems and food systems governance, my focus is primarily on Canada, but the universal importance of food in a globalized world renders some comparative and transnational discussion unavoidable.
I use case studies and discourse analysis to demonstrate that, when considered through a justice-oriented lens, several of the new and emerging technologies being championed in the agri-food sector may not be as beneficial as their proponents claim. Instead, they may serve to retrench injustice and cement existing, exploitative power structures, making them more difficult to challenge and change later down the line. Thus, if technologies are to serve public instead of private interests in the ways they are incentivized, designed, regulated, and used, we will need to see broad systemic and structural reforms informed by thoughtful shifts in our values and priorities, rather than merely reactive adjustments to our policies and practices. Though this undertaking will be difficult, it is not impossible; this dissertation offers one way to facilitate the process of seeding change for environmental sustainability and technological justice.

Abstract (sommario):
Master in FinanceThe main purposes of this research are to test the importance of capital structure determinants (firm size, profitability, liquidity, non-debt tax shields and asset specificity) and to demonstrate their contribution when applied to leverage measures (total debt, short-term debt and long-term debt). An empirical examination of financial data related to United Kingdom's crude petroleum extraction companies during the five years period 2003-2007 was made, modelling the debt ratios as functions of company specific attributes hypothesized by capital structure theories. Using linear regression models, the results achieved demonstrate that: (i) the profitability extensively influence the capital structure of U.K.'s crude petroleum extraction firms; (ii) the results on firm size variable confirmed to be relevant for the leverage explanation (computed as total debt and long-term debt) and indicate that the larger the firm the higher the leverage it is able to achieve and maintain; (iii) the non-debt tax shields results have proven to be aligned with the ones frequently reached since the coefficient obtained is negative for total debt and short-term debt; however, they are only significant for the short-term debt model; and (iv) liquidity and asset specificity are not significant for the measures of leverage explanation.
O presente trabalho tem como principais objectivos aferir a importância dos determinantes da estrutura de capital (dimensão da empresa, rentabilidade, liquidez, poupança fiscal não associada ao endividamento e especificidade dos activos) e demonstrar a sua relevância na explicação dos rácios de endividamento. Foi empiricamente analisada a informação financeira de um conjunto de empresas britânicas, pertencentes ao sector de extracção de petróleo bruto, para o período temporal de 2003 a 2007. As medidas de endividamento foram constituídas como funções que os diversos factores específicos das empresas, enumerados pelas teorias relativas à estrutura de capital, deveriam explicar. Recorrendo a modelos de regressão linear, os resultados alcançados permitem retirar as seguintes conclusões: (i) a rentabilidade influencia a estrutura de capital das empresas de extracção de petróleo bruto do Reino Unido; (ii) os resultados relativos à dimensão da empresa confirmaram a sua relevância para a explicação dos rácios de endividamento total e de longo prazo e indicam que quanto maior a empresa, maior o endividamento que a mesma consegue atingir e manter; (iii) a poupança fiscal não associada ao endividamento apenas influencia significativamente a dívida de curto prazo; contudo os coeficientes obtidos para a dívida total e de curto prazo estão ambos de acordo com a teoria académica uma vez que se apresentam com sinal negativo; e (iv) a liquidez e a especificidade dos activos não parecem ser factores relevantes na explicação da estrutura de capital das empresas de extracção de petróleo bruto do Reino Unido.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter looks at the prescription of optimally managing natural resource revenue windfalls by smoothing consumption across generations using an intergenerational sovereign wealth fund that only invests in foreign assets and is not appropriate for resource-rich developing economies. It is better for these economies to use their windfalls to boost investment in the domestic economy, especially when they confront capital scarcity and have poor access to international capital markets. However, it is important for such economies to have a parking fund to temporarily ‘park’ funds until absorption constraints are alleviated, and a stabilization fund to smooth out volatile budgets given the high stochastic volatility of commodity prices, especially if the economy is inflexible and has few other ways of adjusting to price shocks.

Abstract (sommario):
In the wake of a 1952 revolution, leaders of Bolivia's National Revolutionary Movement (MNR) embarked on a program of internal colonization known as the "March to the East." In an impoverished country dependent on highland mining, the MNR sought to convert the nation’s vast "undeveloped" Amazonian frontier into farmland, hoping to achieve food security, territorial integrity, and demographic balance. To do so, they encouraged hundreds of thousands of Indigenous Bolivians to relocate from the "overcrowded" Andes to the tropical lowlands, but also welcomed surprising transnational migrant streams, including horse-and-buggy Mennonites from Mexico and displaced Okinawans from across the Pacific. Ben Nobbs-Thiessen details the multifaceted results of these migrations on the environment of the South American interior. As he reveals, one of the "migrants" with the greatest impact was the soybean, which Bolivia embraced as a profitable cash crop while eschewing earlier goals of food security, creating a new model for extractive export agriculture. Half a century of colonization would transform the small regional capital of Santa Cruz de la Sierra into Bolivia's largest city, and the diverging stories of Andean, Mennonite, and Okinawan migrants complicate our understandings of tradition, modernity, foreignness, and belonging in the heart of a rising agro-industrial empire.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractThis chapter proceeds in two parts. First, it situates the way that digital geographies render value by creating new markets for the creation, extraction, and capture of that value. Two digital geographies are highlighted: geofences/geoframing and cryptocurrencies on the blockchain. Drawing on the renewed interest in theorizing the digital urban growth machine, I analyze these new markets as forms of toxic innovation dominated by a focus on growth and extractive value. Second, I examine the possibilities for alternative responsible innovation that creates social value, which I call the Slow Data Economy. Inspired by the ethics of slowness, slow data centers accountability, the human-in-the-loop, local co-design, and vision making for the future city. By working with the possibilities of responsible innovation, I explore how the Slow Data Economy can be a form of “capital switching” in which investment is switched from a focus on growth and extraction to care and repair.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractFor their livelihood activities, rural farming communities depend more on extractive capital. Their capacity to cultivate sufficiently for their family maintenance is greatly impeded by the absence of either temperature or rainfall quantity pattern or uniformity. The divergent effects of recent extreme weather events around the world, including within relatively small geographical areas, exemplify the unequal impacts of climate change on populations. Akwa Ibom State has been found vulnerable to extreme weather events, such as flooding, severe storms, and rising sea levels, leading to homelessness, poverty, conflicts, and war for millions of people. All of these have resulted in social disturbances and dislocations among rural populations, especially in coastal communities, making them more vulnerable to climate variability. In the field of social vulnerability in the state, not much has been achieved. This chapter analyzes the vulnerability of the rural population to climate variability; the socio-economic characteristics of the rural population; the index of social vulnerability of rural dwellers to climate variability; social vulnerability factors; and the rural population’s social vulnerability mitigation initiatives in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Social science approaches to human vulnerability draw critical attention to the root causes and factors why people are forced to respond to risks from climate change. A complex social approach to vulnerability is most likely to enhance mitigation and adaptation preparation efforts, given that vulnerability is a multidimensional mechanism rather than an invariable state.

Abstract (sommario):
В сообщении раскрыта природа экономической ренты, как фундаментальной характеристики экономического пространства. Показано, что в условиях современной либертарианской модели сформировались определенные баланс экстрактивных и инклюзивных институтов и соответствующая институциональная матрица, регулирующая порядок хозяйствования и природопользования. Следствиями этого являются дискриминация основной массы экономических агентов, присвоение транснациональными корпорациями основной массы капитала и деградация природы. The report presents the nature of economic rent as a fundamental characteristic of the economic space. It is shown that under the conditions of the modern Liberation model, a certain balance of extractive and inclusive institutions and corresponding institutional matrixes have been formed that regulate the economics and management of nature. The consequences of this are the discrimination of the bulk of economic agents, the appropriation by the transnational corporations of the bulk of capital and the degradation of nature.

Abstract (sommario):
The power generation industry is currently in a very difficult period of business restructuring. All the while, the demands to reduce emissions of NOx, SOx and particulates in accordance with the Clean Air Act continue. The high capital and operating cost of post-combustion NOx controls like Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is leading to greater interest in finding methods to reduce NOx formation during combustion. The most cost effective means of reducing any pollutant is to never form it in the first place. The science behind combustion NOx control uses techniques which limit the amount of air available in the high temperature combustion zones where thermal NOx forms. Minimum NOx formation occurs when fuel and air mixing are carefully controlled to maintain required stoichiometric ratios. Additionally, controlling coal and air flow minimizes excess air requirements, can reduce unburned carbon resulting in better electrostatic precipitator performance and improved overall boiler efficiency. Thus maintaining fuel and air flow at optimal levels becomes a major concern if one wishes to achieve minimum NOx formation during combustion and maintain optimum boiler performance throughout the units load range. Since pulverized coal is transported by primary air in a two phase flow it has been difficult, if not impossible, in the past to measure coal mass flow on a continuous basis. Typically, coal flow and fineness have been measured on an intermittent basis using extractive techniques. This paper serves to introduce a real-time “flow measuring system” for pulverized coal, based on the use of microwave technology. It will describe how microwaves are used to obtain very accurate coal flow measurements. Comparisons of data obtained using the microwave system will be made with measurements obtained using extractive isokinetic methods. Some relevant operational effects from both US and German installations will be discussed and projections of operational savings will be made especially when using the system on an SCR equipped installation.

Abstract (sommario):
Mass conservation equation is employed to study the time evolution of the mass of oil remaining in a reservoir, according to the mass flow rate of extraction, and to define the critical mass flow rate of extraction, which is the value exhausting the reservoir in an infinite time. The price evolution with time of the resource sold to the market is investigated in case of no-accumulation and no-depletion of the resources; i.e. when the resources are extracted and sold to the market at the same mass flow rate. The energy conservation equation is transformed into an energy-capital conservation equation, which allows to study the oil price evolution with time, dependent on the following parameters. The parameter PIFE, “Price Increase Factor of Extracted resource”, is the difference between the basic interest rate of the capital, e.g. inflation rate, and the mass flow rate of extraction. The parameter PIFS, “Price Increase Factor of Sold resource”, is the difference between the interest rate of the capital, e.g. prime rate, and the mass flow rate of extraction. The parameter CIPS, “Critical Initial Price of Sold resource”, depends on the initial price of the extracted resource, the interest rate of non-extracted resource, and the difference between PIFS and PIFE. The parameter CIPES, “Critical Initial Price Extreme of Sold resource”, depends on the initial price of the extracted resource, the interest rate of non-extracted resource, and PIFS. The present theory is applied to the time evolution of the oil price during the years following the economic crisis of 2008, introducing the new category of cases with a negative inflation rate, that was registered during 2009. The present theory can be applied also to the months with negative inflation rate with a reasonable fair agreement.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Nigerian stranded gas reserves is a vast natural gas resource opportunity (with estimates exceeding 84 trillion cubic feet or 44% of current proved reserves of 190.4 Tcf) is already being monetized especially as the global environment continues to favour low carbon footprint energy sources. Natural gas utilization projects such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Independent Power Projects (IPP), Gas-to-Liquid (GTL), from associated gas (AG) have taken off, however, Nigeria still struggles with low pace of stranded gas development as a result of huge capital expenditure outlays, uncertain fiscal terms as well as inadequate infrastructure, hence, stranded gas remains minimally tapped. Not only that, they exist in pockets of fields unevenly dispersed across Nigerian fields. About 70% of the onshore stranded gas are found in fields with less than 500 billion cubic feet (bcf) reserves, severely limiting gathering system optimization opportunities. In this work, GTL option is investigated as a viable utilization option. A modular medium scale GTL plant with a capacity to produce 25,000 barrels per day of premium products, is considered. GTL economics is analyzed with and without Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) extraction. The various internal and external risks associated with its development, are also explored. Without NGL extraction accruing to the GTL owner, the project becomes unattractive and never pays out within the projected timeframe of operation. With NGL extraction, project payout is 10 years, NPV@10% is $1,132.6 million and IRR is 15.4%. From the risk assessment, the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and product prices (NGL price being the most important) are major factors affecting project economic risks. Because of the huge impact of NGL extraction on GTL economics, consideration will have to be given to alternative incentives to improve profitability where this extraction opportunity is low or non-existent by fiscal authorities.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Vaca Muerta is an unconventional reservoir located in Argentina. Since 2014, 397 horizontal wells have been drilled in this formation. The scope of this paper is to summarize the evolution of the productivity and the economics of these wells from 2014 until 2020. The methodology consisted in analyzing the results of the wells grouped by drilling campaign extracting the main parameters such as peak oil rate, cumulative oil at 365 days, number of fracture stages and length of the drain. After the extraction of these parameters we calculated each well's EUR using a modified hyperbolic function. A statistical analysis of the results was performed in order to calculate a "Type Well" for each drilling campaign. An economic evaluation for each campaign was then generated in order determine the "Type Well" economics. Once this was achieved we calculated the production profile of an "Economic Type Well" for each campaign defining this as the well which would generate an NPV=0$ at a discount rate of 10%. This was used to determine how many wells were economical for each year. The results of this study show the big impact on the productivity generated by the increase in well length and the number of frac stages revealing the progression of the "Learning curve" for the Vaca Muerta basin including the reduction in Capital Expenditures per well. At present, Vaca Muerta represents an opportunity as a profitable play due to the high productivity of the reservoir and low risk. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in the wells' cost according to the results of this study. This paper presents the evolution of the economics and the risk performance of Vaca Muerta.

Abstract (sommario):
Relating to the establishment and acquisition of a company in Turkey by foreign investors, Foreign Direct Investments Law No.4875, FDI has entered into force on 17.06.2003. FDI formed a notification-based system rather than an approval-based system for foreigners to establish a new company and to take over company shares. Accordingly, company information regarding foreign investors will be notified to the General Directorate of Incentive Implementation and Foreign Capital via “Electronic Incentive Implementation and Foreign Capital Information System”. Foreign investment means establishment of a new company by a foreign investor or share acquisitions of an existing company, any percentage of shares acquired outside the stock exchange or 10 percentage or more of the shares/voting power of a company acquired through the stock exchange, by means of the following economic assets: assets acquired from abroad by the foreign investor which are capital in cash in the form of convertible currency bought and sold by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, stocks and bonds of foreign companies excluding government bonds, machinery and equipment, industrial and intellectual property rights; or assets acquired from Turkey by foreign investor which are reinvested earnings, revenues, financial claims, or any other investment-related rights of financial value, rights for the exploration and extraction of natural resources. According to Article 4 of the Regulation for Implementation of Foreign Direct Investment Law, the Ministry of Economy shall provide information on the companies within the scope of foreign direct investments from Trade Registry Offices and related public institutions and organizations.

In International Petroleum Technology Conference. IPTC, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.2523/iptc-23214-ms.
Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Commercial development of large green field unconventional projects with concurrent late-stage appraisal and initial development drilling is fraught with challenges. While the resource may be laterally extensive, extracting the resource efficiently is an engineering challenge that involves decision making at multiple stages to sequence and stack segments so as to maximize value and minimize risk. In large unconventional developments, allocating capital for appraisal and development sequencing benefits from a structured stochastic approach addressing risks and uncertainties to remove subjectivity. This paper illustrates the application of stochastic methods to guide management decision making during initial project development. Large unconventional plays show spatial variability in fluid composition and productivity. A good appraisal program ensures sufficient wells are drilled, completed and tested to understand this variability. Learnings from such programs combined with learnings from analogue wells aid in categorizing PVT and well performance variability to identify priority areas of focus. Based on this analysis, representative models are determined for fluid windows incorporating a range of expected well deliverability. Using a structured stochastic approach, these representative models leverage a bespoke economic workflow integrating multiple uncertainties, constraints, costs and risks through a stochastic method. The workflow shown in this paper is based on synthetic data. Based on a range of outcomes, decision making metrics such as probability of commerciality, expected monetary value and peak funding exposure are calculated integrating value of information criteria. The key output from this integrated workflow enables prioritization of focus areas for appraisal and development including stacking and sequencing of resource segments to ensure effective capital allocation and supporting optimum development value. This paper highlights the benefit of applying a stochastic economic method to guide management decision making at the early stages of project development. The aim is to support management with an unbiased scientific approach which considers multiple uncertainties. This method helps prioritize appraisal and development options with multifaceted criteria for decision making and capital allocation.

Abstract (sommario):
Do resource-extraction booms crowd out postsecondary education? We explore this question by examining the higher education-related decisions of Chilean high school graduates during the 2000s commodities boom. We find mineral extraction increases a person's likelihood of enrolling in postsecondary technical education while reducing the likelihood of completing a four-year professional degree program. Importantly, effects are heterogeneous across economic backgrounds. The impact on college dropouts is primarily present among students that graduated from public high schools, which generally cater to low-income groups. Our findings show that natural resources may affect human capital accumulation differently across income groups in resource-rich economies.

El objetivo es esclarecer el doble papel de las industrias extractivas en la promoción del desarrollo local y la acumulación de capital humano, así como contribuir a la debatida “maldición de los recursos” a través de una distribución desigual de los beneficios. La evidencia empírica es fundamental para mejorar las estrategias de políticas e inversiones en áreas ricas en recursos, enfatizando la necesidad de marcos contractuales estables, reglas fiscales equitativas y una gobernanza efectiva para un desarrollo sostenible y equitativo en el contexto de la extracción. Este documento es una contribución al debate de políticas, y proporciona ideas para los responsables de políticas, los investigadores y las partes interesadas en la Región Andina.

Chazel, Simon, Sophie Bernard e Hassan Benchekroun. Energy transition under mineral constraints and recycling: A low-carbon supply peak. CIRANO, maggio 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.54932/ezhr6690.
Abstract (sommario):
What are the implications of primary mineral constraints for the energy transition? Low-carbon energy production uses green capital, which requires primary minerals. We build on the seminal framework for the transition from a dirty to a clean energy in Golosov et al. (2014) to incorporate the role played by primary minerals and their potential recycling. We characterize the optimal paths of the energy transition under various mineral constraint scenarios. Mineral constraints limit the development of green energy in the long run: low-carbon energy production eventually reaches a plateau. We run our simulations using copper as the limiting mineral and we allow for its full recycling. Even in the limiting case of a 100% recycling rate, after five to six decades green energy production is 50% lower than in the scenario with unlimited primary copper, and after 30 decades, GDP is 3–8% lower. In extension scenarios, we confirm that a longer life duration of green capital delays copper extraction and the green energy peak, whereas reduced recycling caps moves the peak in green energy production forward.

Abstract (sommario):
On 14 August 2021, Haiti was hit by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake with an epicentre in the Canal du Sud (120 km west of the capital, Port-au-Prince). The earthquake killed over 2,200 people and injured more than 12,000. The vulnerability of the Haitian people to such a disaster can be traced back through centuries of colonial exploitation, resource extraction and political instability; displaying very clearly that disasters are byproducts of the societal construction of risk. This technical background report for the 2021/2022 edition of the Interconnected Disaster Risks report analyses the root causes, drivers, impacts and potential solutions for the Haiti earthquake through a forensic analysis of academic literature, media articles and expert interviews.

Abstract (sommario):
For many decades in Tunisia, there has been a robust link between natural resource management and contentious national and local politics. These disputes manifest in the form of protests, sit-ins, the disruption of production and distribution and legal suits on the one hand, and corporate and government response using coercive and concessionary measures on the other. Residents of resource-rich areas and their allies protest the inequitable distribution of their local natural wealth and the degradation of their health, land, water, soil and air. They contest a dynamic that tends to bring greater benefit to Tunisia’s coastal metropolitan areas. Natural resource exploitation is also a source of livelihoods and the contentious politics around them have, at times, led to somewhat more equitable relationships. The most important actors in these contentious politics include citizens, activists, local NGOs, local and national government, international commercial interests, international NGOs and multilateral organisations. These politics fit into wider and very longstanding patterns of wealth distribution in Tunisia and were part of the popular alienation that drove the uprising of 2011. In many ways, the dynamic of the contentious politics is fundamentally unchanged since prior to the uprising and protests have taken place within the same month of writing of this paper. Looking onto this scene, commentators use the frame of margins versus centre (‘marginalization’), and also apply the lens of labour versus capital. If this latter lens is applied, not only is there continuity from prior to 2011, there is continuity with the colonial era when natural resource extraction was first industrialised and internationalised. In these ways, the management of Tunisia’s natural wealth is a significant part of the country’s serious political and economic challenges, making it a major factor in the street politics unfolding at the time of writing.
