Contribution to the Project
Roger Merino has intensively studied the impacts of mineral and agricultural extractivism in local landscapes, the way Indigenous peoples and local communities challenge extractive operations, and how state policies and structures are impacted and transformed by the struggles around extractivism. In his recent work, he increasingly focuses on the concept of the green state. During his fellowship at Extractivism.de, he analyzes Latin American societies and their efforts to push for green policies as well as their effects on the state and its institutional settings.
