Transnational socio-legal mobilization. Extractivism and Human Rights in Latin America

This article argues that transnational socio-legal mobilization for human rights in socio-environmental extractive conflicts is a strategic collective action in constant growth and expansion in Latin America. This mobilization reveals the human rights appropriations as a tool for self-advocacy, by broad social groups in defense of a healthy environment. The paper analyzes empirically the regional trend to the transnational socio-legal mobilization in the inter-American system, presenting actors, strategies, effects, differences by country and paradigmatic cases.
