OUR RESEARCH
We seek to understand and conceptualize the nuances of the extractivism development model and its variations across different regions. Our research focuses on in-depth studies of specific socioeconomic developmental patterns, particularly their political, social and cultural impacts. We examine established patterns of distribution, conflict, and legitimation, assessing how changes in these patterns affect the persistence and transformative capacity of resource-exporting societies and their institutional frameworks. Additionally, we investigate cultural processes, exploring how the extractivism development model influences everyday routines, the formation of institutions and social practices. In the coming years, we will also focus on the geopolitical aspects of extractivism, examining how this development model reacts in the face of international challenges, emphasizing how Germany and Europe drive and are driven by these challenges.
