Abstract

The aim of this article is to present an account of the new forms of dispossession in Colombia, brought about by strengthened extractivism with the excuse of the modernization of the country. To do so, we consider relevant the analyses of critical geography, political ecology and decolonial thought, as well as the contributions made by the study of economic financialization —in this case, applied to nature— to a multi-scale insight on the subject.

The article is divided in three parts: (i) a revisiting of the present geopolitics regarding the new international division of labour and accumulation by dispossession proposed by David Harvey’s critical geography (2004); (ii) a conceptual approach to rationalities concerning territorial issues, based on Maristella Svampa’s ideas, and (iii) a perspective from the processes of resistance to the advance of extractivism.
