This paper uses Critical Political Economy (CPE) to examine energy transitions in Mexico, focusing on the conflicts between different energy visions and territorial struggles. The analysis is based on two low-carbon infrastructure projects in Yucatan, Mexico, considering the broader implications for political economy and contemporary struggles. The paper argues for a critical approach that ensures low-carbon infrastructure serves as the material basis for pluriversal transitions informed by affected communities and their territorial struggles, rather than new forms of extraction.
This paper draws on Critical Political Economy (CPE) to explore energy transitions in Mexico. It analyzes struggles over competing energy visions from a decolonial, spatial and post-development perspective. The article frames energy transformations as more than a move away from fossil fuels: They encompass a radical overhaul of universalized Eurocentric capitalist modernity that call the state's role as both facilitator and driver of the energy transition into question. I examine two low-carbon infrastructure projects in the state of Yucatan, Mexico to build on Bridge and Gailing's notion of new energy spaces as the sites, scales and spatialities through which broader questions of political economy and contemporary struggles are being worked out. CPE of the energy transition must ensure that low-carbon infrastructures are not deployed as new forms of extraction, but rather as the material basis of pluriversal transitions informed by affected communities and their territorial struggles. Both studies on the political economy of energy transitions and territorial struggles can benefit from an open dialogue about how socioecological transformations are imagined, designed and implemented.
