I'm planning to use Global Production Network approach to understand the local socio-ecological and -economical implications of Lithium mining in South America. Do you know any research in this direction?
Juliana Ströbele-Gregor has been researching in this direction: http://www.desigualdades.net/Resources/Working_Paper/14_WP_Str__bele_Gregor_online_sp.pdf
Supposedly, there should be others texts of hers - I just couldn't find them...
