Extractivismo y posneoliberalismo: el caso de Ecuador

This article analizes the extractive modalities of the government of Alianza Pais and Ra - fael Correa during the period 2007-2012. By considering territorial reorganization as a function of the coomodification of territories and their integration into the dynamics of capitalist financial accumulation, we cover the most visible forms of extractivism: the extension of the petroleum frontier, especially the ex- ploration and explotation of petroleum in the open sea, glaciers, protected areas and indigenous territories; the industrialization of heavy oil and shale; open-pit mining; agribusiness that includes pesticides, trans- genics, monocultures and plantation systems; environmental services (the privatization of water, carbon markets, the turism industry, paying for environmental services); biotechnology; geotechnology, biofuels,
