Development in global production networks? Wind energy and socio-ecological conflicts in La Guajira, Colombia
将全球生产网络研究与领土概念结合,分析风能生产网络在哥伦比亚拉瓜希拉落地时引发的矛盾发展后果和生态社会冲突。
Abstract Bringing global production network (GPN) research into conversation with a relational concept of territory, the article analyzes how a wind-GPN touches ground in La Guajira, Colombia. It offers a novel contribution in two regards: First, it aims to contribute to bridging GPN and critical development studies, focusing on the ambivalent developmental implications caused by the coupling of La Guajira with global production. Second, it traces controversies and frictions that result from ontological differences. By bringing ontological dimensions into the analysis of strategic coupling, this approach contributes to GPN’s “dark side” by unpacking how resource-based GPNs interact with contested territorialities.
