This book empirically discusses recent struggles over land and mining, exploring state-society relations conflicts on various scales. In contrast with the existing literature, analyses in this volume deliberately focus on large-scale land use changes both in relation to the expansion of industrial mining and to agro-industry. The authors contend that there are significant parallels between contestations over different variants of resource extractivism, as they reflect the same global trends and processes. Chapters draw on critical theoretical approaches from political ecology, political economy, spatial theory, contentious politics, and the study of democracy. The authors not only provide empirical insights on actual resource struggles from different world regions based on in-depth field research, but also contribute to theory-building by linking concepts from various critical approaches to one another, developing a perspective for analysing struggles over resources related to current global crisis phenomena.

The coronavirus pandemic has hit Latin America particularly hard. In no other region of the world have so many people been infected with the virus as here. Influenced by the pandemic, poverty and inequality have increased, the economic crisis has worsened and, in some countries, authoritarian and repressive tendencies have grown, all of which poses enormous challenges for the region. This anthology is dedicated to the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and pandemic policies in Latin America and the Caribbean. The articles it contains examine the consequences of the pandemic in terms of social inequalities, gender relations, violence against women, democracy, human rights, labour, the mobilisation of protest and environmental policy. They discuss what social and political lessons can be drawn from the pandemic experience in Latin America at the end of 2021, when the region is far from a post-pandemic era. With contributions by Carolina Alves Vestena, Hans-Jürgen Burchardt, Alba Carosio, Kristina Dietz, Patrick Eser, Caroline Kim, Moritz Krawinckel, Stefan Peters, Axel Rojas, Christiane Schulte, Jürgen Weller, Andréa Zhouri and Claudia Zilla. Die Corona-Pandemie hat Lateinamerika mit besonderer Härte getroffen. In keiner Weltregion haben sich so viele Menschen nachweislich mit dem Virus infiziert wie hier. Unter dem Einfluss der Pandemie haben Armut und Ungleichheiten zugenommen und die Wirtschaftskrise hat sich verschärft. In einigen Ländern haben autoritäre und repressive Tendenzen zugenommen. All dies stellt die Region vor enorme Herausforderungen. Der Sammelband widmet sich den Folgen der Corona-Pandemie und den pandemiebezogenen politischen Maßnahmen in Lateinamerika und der Karibik. Die Beiträge betrachten die Folgen der Pandemie für soziale Ungleichheiten, Geschlechterverhältnisse, Gewalt gegen Frauen, Demokratie, Menschenrechte, Arbeit, die Mobilisierung von Protest und Umweltpolitik. Die Artikel diskutieren, welche gesellschaftlichen und politischen Lehren sich aus den Pandemieerfahrungen in Lateinamerika Ende 2021 ziehen lassen, zu einem Zeitpunkt an dem die Region weit entfernt ist von einer postpandemischen Ära. Mit Beiträgen von Carolina Alves Vestena, Hans-Jürgen Burchardt, Alba Carosio, Kristina Dietz, Patrick Eser, Caroline Kim, Moritz Krawinckel, Stefan Peters, Axel Rojas, Christiane Schulte, Jürgen Weller, Andréa Zhouri und Claudia Zilla.
