| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines whether the European Green Deal’s energy policy reinforces the divide between the global North and South via an unequal exchange of labor and nature values, that are experienced by the cobalt mining communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and nickel mining communities in Indonesia. The reinforcement of the divide between the global North and South is theorized, according to World Systems Theory, to result in exacerbated environmental injustices stemming from ‘greenification’ of the economy via renewable energy technologies. Through the application of process-tracing case study analysis, various types of evidence have been identified, each carrying distinct levels of significance. Based on 3 Straw-in-the-wind types of evidence, 2 Hoop test types of evidence, and a single Smoking-Gun evidence type of evidence, this thesis concludes that it is highly likely to assume that the European Green Deal’s energy policy facilitates an unequal exchange of labor and value of nature for mineral mining communities. This results in exacerbated environmental injustice which manifests itself as a reinforced divide between the global North and global South. | |
