extractivism.de is a collaborative research project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The project investigates natural resource extractivism in Latin America and the Maghreb.
Natural resources and raw materials are among the most important lubricants of the global economy. Many countries in the Global South have specialized in the extraction and export of raw materials and natural resources – in extractivism. Latin America and the Maghreb exemplify this development model. We scrutinize the crisis scenarios, the resilience as well as the possibilities for change of the natural resource driven extractivist development model in Latin America and the Maghreb.
We do not conduct research on but with countries and regions outside of Europe.
