Abstract

The article oversees the Environmentas Conflicts (CA as per its Spanish acronym) in South America and Chile caught through the confrontation of different conceptual spaces, but rising from the same material space. For this argument and retrieving data from the World Bank, Environmental Justice Atlas, Latin American Observatory for Environment Conflicts (OLCA as per its Spanish acronym), Observatory of Mining Conflicts in Latin America (OCMAL as per its Spanish acronym), Central Bank of Chile, Life and Water Defence Coordinator and national press and radio, a lifting and location of the CA’s capital sources and Direct Foreign Investment (IED as per its Spanish acronym) was undertaken. The result from the mapping and its crossings provided evidence of the relationship between the space concentration of CA and IED, noticing a non-solved friction between spaces conceived from the local and the global.
