is a collaborative research project funded by the German Federal
Ministry of
Education and Research (BMBF) based at the University of Kassel
and the
Philipps University of Marburg. We research natural resource
extractivism in
Latin America and the Maghreb and its many societal, economic,
and political
interconnections. This year’s conference will focus on
extractivist regimes and
the many pathways towards sustainability that countries and
actors in different
parts of the world are pursuing. Extractive regimes cover the
set of formal and
informal institutions, crucial actors, and the relational
constellations they
form, and the many social practices they employ to regulate the
input,
extraction, processing, distribution and consumption of raw
materials and the
corresponding energy turnovers.</span></p>

style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#393939">The
conference will delve into the multifaceted dimensions of
extractivism,
dissecting its historical roots, contemporary manifestations,
and future
trajectories. The topics in discussion range from issues that
interrogate the
entanglements of history, coloniality, and unequal exchange that
shape modern
extractivist practices to critical examinations of the new green
windows of
opportunity, the return of industry policies and the many
extractivist traps of
the current energy transition. We also explore who the key
actors of
extractivist regimes are, how alliances are built, legitimised,
and challenged,
and how myths of growth and development based on raw materials
emerge and
influence policymaking. The conference also confronts the
complexities of green
transition, unmasking the darker sides of sustainability, its
exclusions and
backlashes, and the role of financialisation and capital flows
in these
regimes.</span></p>
