Investigations into the environmental impacts of mining and oil extraction, including debates on sustainability, environmental justice, and the effectiveness of governance frameworks. - Policy Analysis and Institutional Dynamics:
Examinations of the political and institutional frameworks that shape resource extraction, including governance models, regulatory effectiveness, and the role of local and national policies. - Social Movements and Community Engagement:
Studies on the role of civil society, local communities, and social movements in advocating for rights, accountability, and sustainable management of resources. - Gender and Intersectionality in Extractive Contexts:
Exploration of gender dynamics within the extractive industries, focusing on women's roles, experiences, and the implications of extractivism on gender equity. - Indigenous Rights and Resource Management:
Research addressing the rights of Indigenous peoples in relation to resource extraction, including issues of consent, governance, and the socio-cultural impacts of mining.
Trending and Emerging
- Green Transition and Critical Minerals:
There is a growing focus on the role of critical minerals in the green transition, examining how resource extraction can align with sustainability goals and the challenges posed by this transition. - Community Resilience and Adaptive Strategies:
Emerging research highlights community resilience in the face of extractive activities, exploring adaptive strategies that communities employ to cope with the socio-economic and environmental impacts of mining. - Health and Well-Being in Extractive Contexts:
An increasing number of studies are addressing the health implications of extractive industries, including mental health, occupational health risks, and the broader impacts on community well-being. - Transnational Governance and Accountability:
Research is increasingly focusing on transnational governance frameworks and accountability mechanisms, looking at how global standards and practices affect local resource management. - Digital Technologies and Data in Resource Management:
The integration of digital technologies and data analytics in managing extractive industries is gaining attention, reflecting the need for innovation in monitoring and governance. - Intersectionality in Resource Extraction:
There is a notable rise in research examining intersectionality in the context of extractive industries, particularly how various social identities impact experiences and outcomes related to resource extraction.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Resource Extraction Models:
There appears to be a decrease in studies focusing solely on traditional models of resource extraction, as the discourse shifts towards more complex and integrated approaches that consider socio-environmental dynamics. - Unconventional Oil and Gas Development:
Research specifically centered on unconventional oil and gas extraction, such as fracking, has become less prominent, likely due to a broader focus on renewable energy transitions and their implications. - Single-Industry Focus:
There is a growing tendency to explore multi-industry interactions and their collective impacts, leading to a decline in studies that examine the effects of single extractive industries in isolation. - Historical Analyses of Extractive Practices:
The journal has seen a reduction in papers focusing solely on historical analyses of extractive practices, as contemporary issues and future-oriented research methods gain prominence. - Economic Growth Narratives Linked to Extractivism:
The narrative linking extractivism directly to economic growth is losing traction, with increasing skepticism about the sustainability and equity of such claims.
