Social and environmental aspects of resource extraction of energy-transition minerals
The global energy transition is accelerating demand for critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, and copper. Although essential for low-carbon technologies, the extractions of these mineral resources create significant socio-environmental costs. The 11 Letters curated in this Focus Issue of Environmental Research Letters bring interdisciplinary perspectives to highlight the social and environmental complexities of energy-transition mineral extr…
Steering the wheel to deliver what? Innovation, coalitions, and directionality in Latin American biologics
This paper analyzes the functioning and delivery capacities of the biologics for human health innovation systems in Latin America through the cases of Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. Using the Sectoral Systems of Innovation (SSI) framework, we analyse the systems’ structural characteristics—actors, institutions, and interrelations—enriched by a political economy perspective. We show that variations in SSI among these countries stem from tensions…
Civic power in mining conflicts: Barrier or catalyst for a just energy transition
This paper explores the global landscape of civil resistance to mineral extraction and its implications for the political sustainability of the energy transition. As global demand for critical minerals accelerates in association with the energy transition, there is a growing imperative to secure mineral access while improving environmental and social outcomes. However, mining activities face significant resistance worldwide, posing major challeng…
Beyond the twin transition: Military drivers of critical minerals’ expansion
An accelerating clean energy and digital “twin transition” is widely identified as the primary driver of rising critical minerals extraction. Policy institutions and academic analyses highlight a range of complex challenges for sustainable development that follow from this. Far less attention is paid to another core driver: accelerating military mobilisation and war-related technological change. This perspective paper shifts attention to the dyna…
Resistencias civiles a la minería: Impulsando transiciones energéticas justas en Argentina y Chile
Argentina y Chile se han consolidado como proveedores clave de minerales críticos esenciales para la transición energética global. Sin embargo, la expansión de la actividad minera en ambos países ha generado amplios conflictos socioambientales. Este artículo analiza la escala, las causas y los resultados de la resistencia de la sociedad civil a la minería, a partir de una revisión de más de 180 fuentes y un mapeo de 36 casos de conflicto. Sostien…
Contesting Mineral Extraction for Transformation: Civic Power in Just Energy Transitions
Argentina and Chile have emerged as key suppliers of critical minerals essential to the global green transition. Yet the expansion of mineral extraction in both countries has triggered widespread socioenvironmental conflict. This article examines the scale, drivers, and outcomes of civil society resistance to mining, based on a review of over 180 sources and original mapping of 36 conflict cases. It argues that these conflicts are not isolated or…
From Commons to Commodities: Seed Regimes Consolidation and Implications to Sustainability Transitions
This article examines the historical and contemporary consolidation of Argentina's seed regime through an integrated lens of socio-technical transitions and political economy. It analyses how regulatory frameworks, technological shifts, and market dynamics have co-evolved to concentrate corporate control over seed governance. Drawing on a qualitative methodology that includes policy analysis, historical documents, and semi-structured interviews, …
A dialogue between innovation studies of economic development and transition studies: An illustration from Argentina’s agriculture sector
A dominant perspective within the field of development economics is that structural change away from the industries that developing countries traditionally specialize in, such as agriculture and mining, is necessary to support a broad process of development. In this paper, we ask whether and how structural change within, as well as away from, such industries might help create more economically successful, socially just and environmentally benign …
Mining—The dark side of the energy transition
Knowledge networks associated with the production of natural resources in Latin America: A comparative analysis
The opportunities for innovation that arise from natural-resource production are associated with the formation of knowledge networks that facilitate learning both within and outside the sectors in question. This article identifies the types of knowledge networks associated with innovation activities in the natural-resource domain using four case studies from the region: the livestock sector in Argentina, the mining sector in Chile, agriculture in…
Innovation in natural resource-based industries: A pathway to development? Introduction to special issue
Despite growing academic attention to the relationship between economic development and natural resources in social sciences, the issue has received rather limited attention in the field of Innovation Studies. This is problematic given the centrality of innovation and technological change for growth and development. Against this background, this introductory article aims to make four contributions. First, to assess the extent to which Innovation …
Sources and contexts of inter-industry differences in technological opportunities: The cases of Argentina and Brazil
It is widely accepted within the innovation and development literatures that some industries offer higher potential for growth and development than others. The general idea is that industries with high technological dynamism offer higher potential for growth and development. There is still a large element of uncertainty, however, as to which are the most dynamic industries for each country. This paper proposes to use the concept of technological …

Transiciones hacia una agricultura sostenible: El nicho de la apicultura orgánica en una cooperativa Argentina
Este artículo argumenta que es posible transformar los senderos de innovación en las industrias basadas en recursos naturales hacia modelos integralmente más sostenibles. En particular, se emplea el marco conceptual de transiciones de sistemas sociotécnicos para comprender los límites estructurales que el sistema de agricultura industrial le impone a COOPSOL, un proyecto cooperativo de apicultura orgánica en Argentina. Los datos son cualitativos …
Co-design with aligned and non-aligned knowledge partners: Implications for research and coproduction of sustainable food systems
Learning about ‘Engaged Excellence’ across a Transformative Knowledge Network
The ‘Pathways’ transformative knowledge network is an international group of research organisations, collaborating to explore processes of social transformation and to share insights across disciplines, cultures and contexts. Working across the domains of food, energy and water, the network is experimenting with new methods of research and engagement that both help to understand – and contribute to – transformations to sustainability. This articl…
Natural Resource Industries As a Platform for the Development of Knowledge Intensive Industries
In the innovation and development literature, natural resources ( NR ) are generally viewed as a curse for developing nations and NR ‐based industries as having little potential to innovate and drive long‐term growth. This has led policy and development experts to opt for strategies to induce a shift in the pattern of specialization towards other sectors. This paper proposes a different approach. By exploring recent evidence from the Argentinean …
Technological capacity-building in unstable settings: Manufacturing firms in argentina and brazil
From the 1970s onward, the macroeconomic context in Argentina and Brazil was characterized by drastic economic changes and instability. Numerous studies have documented the generally negative effect of this environment on the innovation capacities of the manufacturing sector. This paper, however, analyses the possible emergence of new innovation capacities in the period, bringing two important phenomena to light. First, a quite substantial number…
MNC subsidiaries' position in global knowledge networks and local spillovers: Evidence from Argentina
The importance of MNCs in emerging economies has increased substantially in recent times. This paper develops a ‘subsidiary-centred’ model for the estimation of spillovers from Foreign Direct Investments in Argentina. It conceives MNC subsidiaries as nodes of an inter-organisational network, and it analyses the degree to which different ‘positions’ in the global knowledge network influence the generation of local spillover effects. It finds that …
Technology spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): The active role of MNC subsidiaries in Argentina in the 1990s
The usual perspective on technology spillovers from FDI sees the MNC subsidiary as a passive actor. It presumes that the technological superiority that spreads from subsidiaries to other firms in the host economy is initially created outside it by MNC parent companies, and is delivered to subsidiaries via international technology transfer. The role of subsidiaries is little more than to act as a ‘leaky container’ lying between the technology tran…
