| description | Within the country’s strategic copper mining sector, economic elites are begetting new political technologies that reshape state, economy, and society relations, to better anchor capitalist domination at the local level. Two post-2012 initiatives, explicitly designed to overcome community-based resistances to mega-extractivist projects, are examined. Promoting “territorial dialogues,” they set private-public-social development corporations which take on the production of public goods, legitimacy, and social cohesion for entire provinces and regions, tasks previously performed by the state. Co-created by transnational capital and centre-left epistemic communities, these novel forms of political domination illustrate a broad variety in the types of state-capital-Left relationships emerging in Latin America during the so called Pink Tide and its aftermath. Resumen: Elites económicas y nuevas estrategias de extractivismo en Chile Dentro del sector estratégico de la minería del cobre del país, las élites económicas están engendrando nuevas tecnologías políticas que remodelan las relaciones entre el Estado, la economía y la sociedad para anclar mejor la dominación capitalista a nivel local. Se examinan dos iniciativas posteriores a 2012 diseñadas explícitamente para superar las resistencias comunitarias a los proyectos mega-extractivistas. Promoviendo “diálogos territoriales” que alientan la creación de corporaciones de desarrollo social público-privado que se encargan de la producción de bienes públicos, legitimidad y cohesión social en provincias y regiones enteras, tareas previamente realizadas por el Estado. Cocreadas por capital transnacional y comunidades epistémicas de centroizquierda, estas novedosas formas de dominación política ilustran una amplia variedad en los tipos de relaciones Estado-capital-izquierda que surgieron en América Latina durante la llamada Marea Rosa y sus consecuencias. |
