The Making of Speculative Biodiesel Commodities on the Agroenergy Frontier of the Brazilian Northeast

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/anti.12672?af=R Abstract

This article offers a critical account of Spanish high"?speed rail (HSR) through the lens of the spatial fix. I designate the integration of Spanish HSR into a European"?wide process of circulation of finance capital as the HSR"?finance complex. The analysis of the inner workings of the HSR"?finance complex reveals the way in which European finance has laid the conditions of possibility for the development of the project and offers a forewarning about the dangers of leveraging finance capital toward green infrastructure. The analysis of the Spanish HSR"?finance complex shows that the particular form of capital circulation that has made it possible has not brought about new productive combinations but has instead deepened traditional relations of economic dependency and magnified their socioenvironmental consequences.

Resumen

El presente art??culo ofrece una lectura cr??tica del desarrollo de la alta velocidad espa??ola desde el enfoque del arreglo espacial. A trav?s del concepto de "complejo alta velocidad ferroviaria"?finanzas" se identifica el proceso de integraci??n de la alta velocidad ferroviaria espa??ola en un proceso europeo de circulaci??n del capital financiero. El an??lisis de la l??gica interna del complejo alta velocidad ferroviaria"?finanzas pone de manifiesto las formas en que la circulaci??n europea de capital ha creado las condiciones de posibilidad para el desarrollo del proyecto y advierte de los peligros que surgen del apalancamiento de capital financiero para el desarrollo de infraestructuras verdes. El an??lisis muestra que la forma particular de circulaci??n de capital que ha hecho posible el desarrollo de la alta velocidad no ha contribuido al surgimiento de nuevas combinaciones productivas, sino que m??s bien ha reforzado relaciones existentes de dependencia econ??mica, al mismo tiempo que ha ampliado sus consecuencias socioambientales.
