Location: S0.13

convened by ECF Jannifer Lander & Mara Duer

This one-day workshop aims to bring together a number of experts (12-15) from the fields of political geography/ecology, law, political economy, sociology and development studies to critically consider the distinctive state, legal and land systems that enable global extractive development. Extractive development – or 鈥�extractivism鈥� – refers to the large-scale extraction of natural resources (e.g. mining), an economic system with particular implications for the role of the state, legal regimes and land use.

The initiative for this workshop came about as a result of informal dialogues between the three convenors about the dimensions of extractive development. Over time, they recognised significant common interests and themes across their work within the disciplines of political geography, political economy, and law and development. In the wider academic environment, these connections have been largely unexplored due to disciplinary and linguistic boundaries. Academic studies of extractivism have tended to be siloed within different disciplines and regional areas, a key gap that this workshop seeks to address.
