*Comparing Extractivist Regimes: Natural Resources in the Paths towards 
Sustainability *

1 & 2 July 2024, Kassel

Extractivism.de 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.

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.
