The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA invites Columbia University students to a roundtable discussion with Osmel Manzano, Adjunct Professor at the Walsh School of Foreign Service (Georgetown University), Professorial Lecturer at the Elliott School of International Affairs (George Washington University) and Nonresident Fellow for Latin American Energy Studies at the Center for Energy Studies (CES) at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.
This seminar will examine the pivotal role of extractive industries in the Andean region within the broader context of the global energy transition. Historically, natural resources have shaped the economic trajectory of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, contributing significantly to GDP and exports. Yet, reliance on resource rents has also created vulnerabilities, exemplified by recurrent boom-and-bust cycles and persistent social conflicts. The current shift toward decarbonization introduces new risks for hydrocarbon-dependent economies, while simultaneously opening opportunities for countries endowed with critical minerals such as lithium and copper.
Dr. Manzano will make a presentation on“The Extractive Transition and Social License: The Crossroad for the Andean Region” based on a paper that explores the social, economic, and environmental impacts of extractive projects, the institutional mechanisms governing revenue distribution, and the conditions under which communities grant or withhold a Social License to Operate (SLO).
