The large-scale extraction of natural resources for sale in
capitalist markets is not a new phenomenon, but in recent years
global demand for resources has increased, leading to greater
attention to the role of resource extraction in the development of
the exporting countries. The term neoextractivism was coined to
refer to the complex of state-private sector policies intended to
utilize the income from natural resources sales for development
objectives and for improving the lives of a country's citizens.
However, this book argues that neoextractivism is merely another
conduit for capitalist development, reinforcing the position of
elites, with few benefits for working people. With particular
reference to the role of neoextractivism within Latin America and
the Caribbean, using Guyana as a case study, the book aims to
provide readers with the tools they need to critically analyze
neoextractivism as a development model, identifying alternative
paths for improving the human condition. This book will be of
interest to academics and students in the fields of international
development, political economy, sociology, and globalization, as
well as to policymakers and political activists engaged in social
movements in the natural resources sector.
