Extractivism
This article reconceptualises extractivism as a core mechanism shaping climate-induced (im)mobilities, moving beyond technocratic framings that overlook its embedded socio-ecological and political dimensions. Drawing upon a qualitative case study in Antofagasta, Chile – an epicentre of copper and lithium extraction – we explore how classical, neo-, and green extractivisms generate not only territorial dispossession but also structural (im)mobilit…
Contesting the Right to Sustainable Cities Under Neoliberalism
This article examines the grassroots urbanism of Los Arenales, a large informal settlement in Antofagasta, Chile, within the theoretical framework of Henri Lefebvre’s right to the city and its application under neoliberal constraints. It critiques the limitations of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly their top‐down implementation and neoliberal tendencies, by juxtaposing them with community‐driven approaches rooted in spatial …
Green(ing) extractivisms
The abandoned, the depressed, and the sacrificed
This commentary broadens the terms of the debate on left-behind places. It revisits the theoretical roots of discussions about uneven development to incorporate Global South experiences and proposes a typology to understand the processes underlying abandoned, depressed, and sacrificed places
Bargaining the dark side? Fragmented extractivist governance under hybrid political arrangements in the Chilean copper and lithium industries
This article examines how bargaining power is exercised by an extractivist state across political arrangements and spatial scales within global extractive production networks. Focusing on Chile’s copper and lithium sectors, it introduces the concept of fragmented extractivist governance: a mode through which the state selectively deploys neoliberal, rentier, and developmentalist logics to shape who benefits from, and who bears the costs of, resou…
Locked in extraction
This article provides a multi-scalar analysis of Chile’s development trajectory, demonstrating that its historical dependency on resource extraction has evolved into a resilient and complex financialised extractivist lock-in from 1940 to 2022. Using Bai-Perron structural break analysis and regional Principal Component Analysis (PCA), we reveal how the national economy transitioned from a primary-export model to one where a dependent service secto…

Pedagogía Crítica Y Aprendizaje-Servicio en La Universidad Neoliberal
Este texto describe una actividad de aprendizaje-servicio, implementada a partir del marco lógico de la pedagogía crítica en una universidad neoliberal. Ésta consistió en el pintado de fachadas del corazón social y político del macrocampamento Los Arenales, el asentamiento humano informal con mayor población y ocupación territorial de la Región de Antofagasta, Chile. Se describe la importancia de concientizar mediante la praxis crítica a docentes…
Commodification in Urban Planning
The concept of habitus, as introduced by Pierre Bourdieu, serves as a lens to understand the subjective dispositions and perceptions that influence decision-making within the social realm. This study delves into the intricate relationship between urban planners' habitus and the commodification processes inherent in a neoliberal society. Through thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 27 Chilean urban planners, this research identifie…
Beyond the resource curse
Community mapping with a public participation geographic information system in informal settlements
This article shows how a public participation geographic information system (PPGIS) may be used as an asset to foster the right to the city. It describes the implementation of one such public participatory process for registering the story of the macrocampamento Los Arenales in Antofagasta, Chile. Specifically, it stresses how a geographic information system can help build collective engagement regarding special policies and urban life. Los Arena…
Evade neoliberalism's turnstiles! Lessons from the Chilean Estallido Social
Co-producing the right to fail
The article depicts how the inhabitants of the macrocampamento (macro-slum) ‘Los Arenales’ aimed to bring their concrete urban utopia closer, by co-producing the first cooperative bakery in a Chilean informal settlement. Despite its many flaws, the process is proposed as a social innovation, since it managed to bring a new diverse economy into existence while also improving several aspects of the urban displaced. It is also novel in gathering his…
Planetary Mine. Territories of Extraction under Late Capitalism
Planetary Mine starts with a real story, one about subcontracted miners who decided to block the roads leading to one of the most important copper-producing mines worldwide, demanding better working conditions. Sadly, one of their co-workers was shot dead by heavily armoured police, sent by the central state to make sure production resumed as soon as possible, whatever the cost. This story took place in the Atacama Region of Northern Chile, but i…
The morals of the market
The world and all the social, political and productive relations contained in it have drastically changed with the rise of neo-liberalism. The speed of change is increasing at a vertiginous pace, as we witness how what once was considered implausible becomes real: Brexit; riots in France, Lebanon and Chile; the largest pandemic hitherto; and, most recently, worldwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in the United States. Underlying t…
Building a case for regional local content policy
Bread for advancing the right to the city
This article describes the creation of a cooperative bakery whose significance is fourfold: (1) it is the first located inside a Chilean campamento (informal settlement); (2) it was organized and managed by inhabitants, mostly Latin American immigrant women; (3) its implementation faced diverse conflicts that serve as lessons for similar experiences; and (4) it provides evidence from the field about strategies for advancing the right to the city …

An invitation to the dark side of economic geography
This exchange urges economic geographers working within several major extant schools of thought to pay greater attention to uneven economic development in general and the dark side of the economic geographies in particular
Encore for the Enclave
Conceptual innovation with respect to the enclave concept has been virtually absent compared with industry agglomerations. This is despite the fact that some varieties of agglomeration distinguished in the literature appear to come close to what previously were regarded as industrial enclaves and despite frequent allusions to the enclave nature of economic spaces produced by contemporary processes of globalization. Bringing the literature on aggl…
