We explore the relationship between land and violence in extractive and infrastructure projects. In doing so, we highlight the centrality of land in the (re)production of the many tangible, as well as unseen, forms of violence that underlie past and present capitalist development.
This series, inspired by a SPERI workshop in June 2024, explores the intersections between economy and the exercise of organised violence.
Resistance and activism against extractivism is prompting repression by state and corporate actors. This blog is the third in the series The Political Economy of Conflict by members of SPERI's Doctoral Researcher Network.
