| description | In Latin America has unleashed an intense controversy about the depletion of natural resources by the application of an extractive model, the unequal powers between the transnational mining industries and the consumer countries, and the impacts that this activity triggers in the social, economic, environmental and cultural field of peripheral countries. This paper establishes that international power centers have imposed on these Nations changes in the economic model and adjustments to the mining laws, given that commodities became one of the most attractive businesses to global financial capital. The background to this situation is the growing need that industrialized countries are experiencing to stock up on natural resources and energy, necessary for the production of goods. Finally, it presents itself as a challenge, the need to manage well the great natural wealth and advance its exploitation in a rational manner and with criteria of sustainability, for the benefit of national majorities. |

This paper establishes that international power centers have imposed on these Nations changes in the economic model and adjustments to the mining laws, given that commodities became one of the most attractive businesses to global financial capital. The background to this situation is the growing need that industrialized countries are experiencing to stock up on natural resources and energy, necessary for the production of goods.

En América Latina se ha desatado una intensa controversia sobre el agotamiento de los recursos naturales por la aplicación de un modelo extractivista, por la desigualdad entre el poder de las industrias mineras transnacionales y los países consumidores, y por los impactos que esta actividad desencadena en el ámbito social, económico, ambiental y cultural de los países periféricos. En este artículo se establece que los centros de poder internacionales han impuesto a estas naciones cambios en el modelo económico y adecuaciones a las legislaciones mineras, dado que los commodities se han convertido en uno de los negocios más atractivos para el capital financiero global. Los antecedentes de esta situación se ubican en la necesidad creciente que están experimentando los países industrializados para abastecerse de los recursos naturales y energéticos, necesarios para la producción de mercancías. En último término, se presenta como un desafío, la necesidad de administrar bien la gran riqueza natural y adelantar su explotación de manera racional y con criterios de sostenibilidad, para beneficio de las mayorías nacionales.
