Rethinking Extractive Industry: Regulation, Dispossession, and Emerging Claims
Date(s): March 5-7, 2009
Location: York University, Toronto, Canada
Description:
The Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC), together with the Extractive Industries Research Group (EIRG), both located at York University, are hosting a conference entitled “Rethinking Extractive Industry: Regulation, Dispossession, and Emerging Claims.” Taking place from March 5 to 7, 2009 as part of the University’s 50th anniversary and CERLAC’s 30th anniversary celebrations, the conference will bring together cutting-edge research on the socio-ecological, spatial, and political-economic dimensions of industrial extraction. Through critical theoretical reflection and policy-relevant analysis, three tracks aim to advance our understanding of the social regulation of extractive industries in its broadest sense: The Political Economies and Ecologies of Extractive Regimes, Critical Explorations of Emerging Accountability Mechanisms, and Global/Local Encounters: Civil Society, States and Corporations.
Proposal deadline:
June 30th, 2008
