Título | Natural Resources: Blessing or Curse? An Insight into Contemporary Environmental History Through the Ecuadorian Case |
Resumo | The history of Latin America is the chronicle of natural resources extraction and commodification in the global market. Academic approaches to the region’s liaison with nature traditionally served to rationalize its underdevelopment with respect to the Global North as well as to underline transient development gains particularly during commodities boom periods. Since the last decades of the twentieth century, academic discussions on the region’s natural resources-based development model gained momentum thanks to the irruption of environmental thinking into Latin American social thought. Even before the emergence of COVID-19, the crisis triggered by the end of the last commodity price cycle (2003-2014) was an invitation to revisit a key question of the Global South: are natural resources a blessing or a curse? |
