OUR RESEARCH
We use conceptual and theoretical analysis to understand the extractivism development model and its variations across different regions. Our research focuses on in-depth studies of specific developmental patterns, particularly their social and cultural impacts. In this process, 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 and extends into 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 faces international challenges and how Germany and Europe respond to these challenges.
