Abstract

This paper has two purposes. The first is to provide a theoretical framework in which extractivism can be understood globally and within which specific country and regional debates can be situated. The second is to analyse resistance to a specific form of extractivism—specifically, that of oil pipelines in Northern British Columbia—and to illustrate how it can be understood within the context of the turn of many countries towards natural resource extraction as a model of national development.
