in this article we address the resistance expressions against mining expansion which are based on the socio-environmental conflicts, in the framework of policies that promote the mining sector in Colombia. it highlights strategic issues that offer a platform, in a geopolitical context, to support the advance of this sector towards foreign direct investment (fdi). Among these strategies, resistors create fissures and undermine capital and its system of domination¹ in order to counteract the territorial emptying this extractive phenomenon causes.
