SANDOVAL, Luis Eduardo; MARIN, Margarita y ALMANZA, Ana María. Exploitation of natural resources and conflict in Colombia. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.37, pp.201-225. ISSN 0124-5996. https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v19n37.11.
Colombia has increasingly been specializing in the extraction of mineral and energy resources such as gold, coal, oil and ferronickel. These activities, in the context of state weakness, have engendered conflicts of different dimensions. This paper proposes an indicator of conflict related to mineral exploitation that classifies five dimensions of conflict: social, economic, cultural, political and environmental. The aggregate indicator shows that murders, displacement of Afro-descendent populations, flooding, pollution, fires, infant mortality, coca crops and sexual offenses are highly and positively correlated with the number of conflicts.
