The lecture will be held by Dr. Luiza Cerioli und Dr. Rogelio Madrueño. It is part of the lecture series "Infrastructure, Capitalism, and Dependency in the Digital Age".

This lecture explores how extractivism can be understood as a persistent and evolving development model. It offers a Latin American perspective on the complex and increasingly strategic relationship with China, emphasizing its implications for current debates on green industrialization and energy transitions. By situating extractivism within broader geopolitical shifts, the lecture aims to shed light on how these entanglements shape both domestic policymaking and sustainability agendas in the region.
