In parallel with the exponential increase in extractivism around the world, comes social movements resisting such processes and advocating for alternative forms of development. Extractivism - a mode of accumulation associated with capitalism - is problematic due to the socio-ecological destruction that is embedded in its logics. Opposition to extractivism has intensified and in many instances, wom
Due to their dependence on a single crop, agricultural frontiers are often considered to be formed through phases of 'boom and bust'. These phases are closely related to fluctuations in world market prices of the commodity that constitutes the frontier's economic basis. This paper demonstrates how although migration patterns and economic growth are conditioned by world market dynamics, local socio
According to TCO (The Swedish Confederation for Professional Employees) the worst threat to the Swedish welfare is that so many people because of bad health and unemployment are not a part of the labour force. If Sweden could make the number of people with health and unemployment problems half the size as today, the GDP would increase with more than five percent. In real money this means 110 billi

As a result, the pivotal point here is the specificity of scientific migrati
