extractivism

Definition holder and criteria

Record the claimant, exact conceptual commitments and evidence supporting the interpretation; treat broader applications as claims requiring their own sources.

1. Who defines this case as extractivism, and which source states their necessary or sufficient conditions? provenance
2. Does the definition concern material appropriation, an accumulation strategy, a territorial relationship or an explicitly argued extension? definition

Classification and counterexamples

Maintain a separate verdict for each definition and identify nearby cases that fail its criteria.

1. Is the assessed instance a particular operation, commodity chain, territory or development strategy, and over which period? boundary
2. Would domestic-oriented mining, subsistence harvesting or a highly processed export qualify under this definition, and why? boundary

Appropriation profile

Record removed resources, associated displaced materials and ecological pressures without substituting revenue for physical scale.

1. How much resource and associated non-saleable material is removed annually, and what do the measurements exclude? measurement
2. Which local ecological baselines justify describing the operation as high-volume or high-intensity? measurement

Destination and transformation test

Specify processing stages, export fractions and denominators so classification can be reproduced.

1. What fraction of the assessed resource is exported, directly or through intermediaries, and how is that fraction calculated? measurement
2. Which transformations occur before export, and why do they count as limited or substantial processing under the selected definition? boundary

Control and benefit map

Record actors controlling land access, finance, operations and market access alongside recipients of proceeds and bearers of costs.

1. Who can determine extraction volume, resource access, financing conditions and sale terms? provenance
2. How are proceeds divided among workers, affected communities, firms and public authorities after identifiable costs and transfers? measurement

Revenue dependence and legitimation

Record reliance on resource receipts and the arguments used to justify continuation or expansion.

1. How dependent are exports, public expenditure and local employment on these resources, and how has that dependence changed? measurement
2. Who invokes jobs, redistribution, sovereignty or development to justify extraction, and what evidence supports the promised outcomes? provenance

Authority, consent and contestation

Record whose land and resource access change, whose decisions count and how agreement or opposition is evidenced.

1. Which customary, Indigenous, communal, private or state claims overlap the extraction footprint and supporting infrastructure? boundary
2. What evidence distinguishes information provision, consultation, consent, refusal and unresolved disagreement among affected groups? provenance

Impact attribution and distribution

Separate observed changes from causal claims and identify who receives benefits or experiences burdens.

1. Which livelihood, health, water, biodiversity or territorial changes are documented, and what supports attributing them to this extraction? measurement
2. How do benefits and burdens differ between groups, upstream and downstream places, and operating and post-closure periods? measurement

Reform versus structural change

Assess proposed changes to throughput, ownership, processing, revenue allocation and territorial power separately.

1. Does the proposal reduce appropriation or dependence, alter decision power, increase domestic processing or redistribute existing proceeds? action
2. Which actors must decide or agree, and what evidence is missing before the agent can recommend implementation? action

Transition credibility

Record alternatives, liabilities and indicators that distinguish substantive change from relabelling or geographic displacement.

1. What replaces affected employment and public revenue, and who funds restoration and continuing liabilities? action
2. Which indicators would show sustained reductions in extraction and dependence after accounting for imports, outsourcing and new extraction frontiers? measurement
