DESCRIPTION: \n\nPhD Oral Defense of Diana Vela Almeida\, Department of Nat
 ural Resource Sciences\n\nThis thesis intervenes in an effort to contribut
 e to the literature on extractivism in Latin America. Two case studies wer
 e selected\, the Yanacocha mine in Peru and the Cordillera del Condor regi
 on in Ecuador. The aim from these studies is to illustrate the dynamic cha
 nge in social and environmental struggles over the evolution of mining pro
 jects according to the development stage of the mine.\n\nThe first analysi
 s of this thesis details a conceptual framework derived from the work of p
 hysicist Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen is used to understand mining as an econ
 omic productive process with entropic consequences. This analysis identifi
 es the possibility to define ‘biophysical limits to mining extraction’ und
 erstood as the threshold to which ore extraction\, resource use and waste 
 generation are socially permitted. As decision-making regarding mining is 
 not straightforward\, the role of deliberative participation is emphasized
  in order to clearly define tradeoffs between biophysical requirements\, e
 nvironmental constraints and social conditions.\n\n...The second half of t
 his research focuses attention on the Cordillera del Condor\, Southern Ama
 zon of Ecuador\, where three large-scale mining projects are located. Two 
 studies analyze the socio-political definitions and interests that determi
 ne the institutional and territorial changes accommodating political minin
 g interests.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome to attend a Ph
 D oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our P
 hD candidates.\n\n \n\n \n
