  • Social movements have significantly influenced the policies and practices of the extractive industry at the global level, thanks to the activation of transnational networks. Extensively addressed by the literature, this phenomenon is undergoing considerable changes, both in the actors that are targeted and in the spaces of mobilization. Based on two case studies in Colombia and Peru, we compare the way in which social organizations choose these actors and spaces and the effect of these choices on the role of the state. Despite the diversification of spaces of influence toward the global level and the private sector, our study reaffirms the centrality of public institutions as the ultimate object of advocacy strategies emerging in territories of extraction.
