geografia econômica evolutiva (GEE), mineração, agência, criação de trajetórias, resiliênciaResumo
Regiões em todo o mundo enfrentam o desafio de renovar as suas economias quando a trajetória de crescimento habitual começa a enfraquecer. Nos territórios onde predomina uma determinada atividade económica—o lock-in, como é o caso de regiões mineradoras—é considerado fundamental definir novas trajetórias que permitam a diversificação económica após o encerramento das atividades de extração. Estas regiões estão perante um momento determinante para planejar a diversificação futura. Este artigo tem como objetivo, a partir da literatura da geografia económica evolutiva (GEE), ampliar o entendimento sobre a temática que relaciona a mineração em áreas periféricas com a diversificação regional, destacando o papel dos atores regionais na criação de novas trajetórias, considerando recursos relacionados ou não à mineração. A busca por um modelo de criação de trajetórias que leve em consideração os aspetos sociais, ambientais e económicos torna-se cada vez mais crucial, quer por parte da sociedade civil, quer por iniciativas de órgãos nacionais, internacionais e reguladores. Nesse sentido, a discussão sobre o desenvolvimento de novas trajetórias tem vindo a ganhar um espaço cada vez maior nas agendas políticas e nos diálogos civis.
