¿La minería para el buen vivir? Large-scale Mining, Citizenship, and Development in Correa’s Ecuador

Abstract: Through a persuasive discourse on well-being and citizen “participation,” Ecuador Estratégico, a government agency tasked with implementing buen vivir (good living) in regions of resource extraction, plays a pivotal role in justifying and legitimizing resource extraction locally. An examination of the practices and discourses of this state institution and of the responses of community members and the ways they negotiate citizenship in the context of mining-based development calls into question the mobilization… Show more

“…Often, pro‐mining sentiment is described as ‘internalized’ pro‐development ‘governmentality’ (Van Teijlingen, 2016: 905) where people are ‘seduced’ or ‘co‐opted’ in the ‘delirium’ of financial gain (Martínez Novo, 2018: 56–57; Vallejo et al., 2016: 46–47). For instance, in their analysis of the Mirador case, Van Teijlingen and Fernández‐Salvador (2021: 252) describe pro‐mining positions as ‘very much influenced by a mestizo logic’ — even though the anti‐mining campaign is mestizo‐led and has faced organized opposition from some Shuar (see Fernández‐Salvador, 2017: 142). We can imagine what the leaders of Yawi and Warints would think of this methodology.…”

“…Así mismo, en esta última década el sector minero ha generado un impacto positivo sobre la economía en nuestro país a través de diferentes medios permitiendo obtener mejores divisas y sosteniendo una balanza comercial con resultados a favor. Por tal razón el programa de producción es de gran importancia no solo para la permanencia de las empresas mineras, también es importante porque generaría un mayor aporte al producto bruto interno (PBI), logrando obtener mejores ingresos fiscales por impuestos, así mismo generaría una gran demanda de empleos que aportarían en el crecimiento económico del país (Aragón & Rud, 2013;Brítez-Rojas & Cabral-López, 2022;van Teijlingen & Fernández-Salvador, 2021). De la misma forma Cámara et al (2020) y Castro y Riascos (2009) señalan que se debe desarrollar un adecuado planeamiento de producción aplicando herramientas de optimización para lograr aumentar el volumen de producción y la competitividad, obteniendo como resultado una explotación sostenible de los recursos minerales (en términos económicos, técnicos, tecnológicos, sociales y ambientales).…”
