Abstract

The objective is to analyze the strategy of accumulation by dispossession and/or
dispossession that translates into guaranteeing exponential profits to Canadian foreign capital in open pit mining to extract the precious gold. If the expectations of foreign investment are fulfilled, it is thus
fulfilled, with the dictates of the "New International Division of Labor" based on the configuration of
global chains. The economic-political trait that would define, accumulates by dispossession, is that its
instrumentation to carry out a task, necessarily requires that the State and the owners of the mining
capital have the "conspiracy" of common interest. To the concept of dispossession, it is necessary to
include, the concept of neoliberal globalization that articulates new modalities of generation and
appropriation of wealth and that characterizes the neoextactivism in its specific features, consistent first;
in the configuration of global productive chains that allow the expansion of the extractive frontier
(commodities) and secondly, it incurs in the privatization of means of production and strategic economic
sectors that are more favorable for the various phases of globalized production, including and
guaranteeing labor cheap and precarious, favorable Institutional environment (id est, low taxes),
regulatory conditions (id est, labor and environmental laws more flexible or adapted to global chains
(transnational).
