    Bargaining the dark side? Fragmented extractivist governance under hybrid political arrangements in the Chilean copper and lithium industries
    (2025) Arias-Loyola, Martín; Vergara Perucich, Francisco; Encinas Pino, Felipe
    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, resource-based exploitation. The article contributes empirically by analysing Chile’s hybrid governance dynamics, and conceptually by theorizing multiscalar state strategies that (re)produce territorial inequalities, challenging conventional views of state cohesion in extractive economies.

    Resource Peripheries in the Global Economy: Networks, Scales and Places of Extraction
    (Springer Nature, 2021) Irarrázaval Irarrázaval, Felipe; Arias-Loyola, Martín; Ciccantell, Paul S.; Scholvin, Sören; Dodge, Alexander; Martinus, Kirsten; Loginova, Julia; Sigler, Thomas; Kotilainen, Juha; Giraudo, Maria Eugenia; Watts, Michael John; Bustos, Beatriz; Ramírez, María Inés; Rudolf, Marco; Atienza, Miguel; Irarrázaval Irarrázaval, Felipe; Arias-Loyola, Martín
    This book discusses the conditions that underpin configuration of specific places as resource peripheries and the consequences that such a socio-spatial formation involves for those places. The book thereby provides an interdisciplinary approach underpinned by economic geography, political ecology, resource geography, development studies and political geography. It also discusses the different technological, political and economic changes that make the ongoing production of resource peripheries a distinctive socio-spatial formation under the global economy. Through a global and interdisciplinary perspective that uncovers ongoing political processes, socio-economic changes and socio-ecological dynamics at resource peripheries, this book argues that it is critical to take a more profound appraisal about the socio-spatial processes behind the contemporary way in which capitalism is appropriating and transforming nature.
