RUBINOS CEA, Simón. PROGRESSIVE TENSIONS: INTEGRATION, HYDROCARBONS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.99, pp.61-80. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v33n99.90940.

In order to obtain resources to finance social policies, progressive governments of South America at the beginning of the 21st century intensified the tension between development and the environment. This is reflected both in the impulse for the regional integration initiative - IIRSA - and in the acceleration of hydrocarbon extraction, situation that have had several environmental impacts while being promoted as central strategies for the development of markets and the flow of resources for the region. Thus, despite having emerged as alternatives in/from South America, in environmental matters, these governments encouraged the contradiction to sustain the progress, without overcoming the previous model but rather developing a continuity of neoliberal territoriality.
