Накратко на български
Добявяването на минерали като литий и никел за „зелена“ енергия променя управлението на ресурсите в Европа, Латинска Америка и Югоизточна Азия. Анализът помага да се разберат социалните и екологичните рискове, за да се избегнат минали грешки и неравенства при развитието.

Governing ResOurce UrbanisaTion (GROUT): Multi-stakeholder governance of extractive industries in the era of planetary urbanisation
The primary objective of this fellowship was to explore governance dynamics in resource extraction within the context of the energy transition. As the demand for minerals essential to low-carbon infrastructure increases—known as green extractivism—pressure to extract resources is rising not only in Europe but also in regions like Australia, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. While addressing the energy transition is crucial, we risk repeating past mistakes by exacerbating regional and global inequalities through colonial relationships, resource dependency, and environmental, social, and cultural impacts. This fellowship demonstrates that green extractivism is not a new phenomenon. To understand these dynamics, it was examined at different scales and historical moments. At the regional level, I investigated local transformations, challenges, and the roles of key actors like the ‘environmentally privileged,’ unions, and environmental groups in governing green extractivism in peri-urban areas. At the global level, the fellowship focused on nickel and lithium mining to highlight the capital-driven impacts of the transition. To understand the persistence of this extractivist model, I developed the "mineralstate thesis," tracing the institutions and regulations that lock countries into a resource-dependent path, disregarding environmental, social, cultural, and economic consequences. Building on gender and feminist studies, the fellowship promoted engaged, committed academic research that has policy and social impact and is co-produced with research subjects, not for them. By critically analyzing the roots, mechanisms, and actors of green extractivism, the fellowship highlights the need for locally led governance models that move away from resource-led development. These include Indigenous, feminist, and ecosocial movements linked to the Green New Deal (GND), local groups defending land and water from extractivism, and the degrowth movement advocating for a just and democratic energy transition.

Цел на проекта
GROUT will address the governance challenges posed by mining projects advancing close to urban areas. Europe is making a concerted effort to increase a sustainable supply of minerals from European sources, This project will improve knowledge and expertise on the governance of these urbanising frontiers. This fellowship will be carried out in the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining (CSRM) at University of Queensland (UQ), Australia, under the supervision of Dr. Jo-Anne Everingham, expert in governance studies. After two years I will return to the Institute of Science and Environmental Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), Spain, under the supervision of Prof. Isabelle Anguelovski, head of the Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability. Through the study of a Coal Seam Gas extraction project in the outskirts of Sydney I will innovatively combine qualitative (in-depth interviews and participant observation) and participative (World Cafe) methodologies to analyse the transformations of subjects and institutions through the analysis of power relations and environmental justice. By bringing together the inter-disciplinary fields of political ecology of extractive industries (my own expertise) with resource governance and critical urban studies (training plan) I will advance theory and analysis in the new theoretical field of Resource Urbanisation Governance (RUG). I will place special emphasis in understanding the transformations affecting women (narratives and demands, power imbalances and consequences). My training plan will include training on resource governance (at CSRM), critical urban-studies (at ICTA-UAB and UQ), Environmental Justice (ICTA-UAB and University of Sydney) and transferable skills such as gender research, facilitation, communication, project management. These will be of extreme importance for the communication and dissemination of project results and to achieve the goals of my Career Development Plan.
