Resumen
DORN, Felix Malte. Decarbonization or dispossession? The political economy of lithium and green hydrogen in Argentina. Rev. Cien. Soc. [online]. 2024, vol.37, n.55, e211. Epub 01-Dic-2024. ISSN 0797-5538. https://doi.org/10.26489/rvs.v37i55.5.
In the context of the global energy transition, this paper aims to analyze the socio-spatial dimensions that characterize the geographies of decarbonization in Argentina. With this intention, I examine lithium mining in the province of Jujuy and hydrogen production in the province of Río Negro from a political economy perspective. While both activities are fundamentally driven by transnational actors, the analysis also reveals complex reconfigurations beyond neocolonial structures. Focusing on actors and conflicts, institutions and imaginaries, the article shows that the economic dynamics result from an interplay between global and national/regional interests, power relations, policies and local power groups.
