This presentation explores the relationships among socio-environmental conflict and the regulation of extractive industries, and asks whether social conflict can drive progressive institutional change in ways that offer scope for inclusive development. The argument is based on research in Latin America, in particular the Andean region and El Salvador, and combines qualitative and GIS based analyses.
