This book addresses the intersection of extractivism, populism, and
accountability. Although populist politics are often portrayed as a
driver of poor environmental governance, Populist Moments and
Extractivist States identifies it as an intervening variable at
best - one that emerges in response to the accountability deficits
of extractive states. Case studies in Venezuela - for many, the
prototypical petrostate - and Ecuador - which exchanged
agribusiness dependency for oil decades later - illustrate how
extractive states are oriented by a colonial logic of export and
service. This logic regulates state-society-nature relationships
and circumscribes avenues for local stakeholders to hold public
officials and extractive industries to account for environmental
and human harms. Populist moments of the early 21st century across
Latin America responded to these conditions, promising more
equitable and sustainable futures. However, rather than reversing
the technocracy, verticalism, and exclusion of the recent past,
populist moments often intensified and legitimated them in the
drive to maximize and distribute resource rents. The result has
been cyclical, as populist moments of hope and rupture fall prey to
the extractivist states they tried, and failed, to replace.
