Resumen
La presente investigación se enfoca en el estudio del impacto del extractivismo en la
sostenibilidad del Perú durante los años 1980-2019. En este se propone que el país
se ha caracterizado por generar déficits físicos, puesto que se ha exportado un mayor
volumen de materiales a precios más bajos en relación a lo que se ha importado, que
son productos con precios más elevados, generando mayor presión ambiental y
dependencia a la demanda global, así como pérdidas en el bienestar reflejados en el
aumento de conflictos socioambientales. El método utilizado en la presente
investigación es la contabilidad de flujos materiales (MFA, “material flow accounting”),
la cual forma parte del metabolismo social que considera a la economía como parte
de un sistema más complejo y global en el cual ocurren intercambios continuos de
materia y energía junto con la naturaleza. Así, se concluye que la extracción de
materiales en Perú es mucho más acelerada de lo que el ecosistema puede asimilar.
En el caso particular de la economía peruana, sus actividades productivas dependen
físicamente de las importaciones de biomasas y combustibles fósiles, y de la
extracción de minerales destinados a la exportación. Además, existe una ausencia de
contabilidad de los pasivos ambientales producidos por el comercio ecológico
desigual.
This research focuses on the study of the impact of extractivism on the sustainability of Peru around the years 1980-2019.It is proposed that the country has been characterized by generating physical deficits, since a greater volume of materials has been exported at lower prices in relation to what has been imported, which are products with higher prices, generating greater environmental pressure and dependence on global demand, as well as welfare losses reflected in the increase in socioenvironmental conflicts. The method used in this research is material flow accounting (MFA), which is part of the social metabolism that considers the economy as part of a more complex and global system in which continuous exchanges happen of matter and energy together with nature. Thus, it is concluded that the extraction of materials in Peru is much faster than what the ecosystem can assimilate. In the particular case of the Peruvian economy, its productive activities physically depend on imports of biomass and fossil fuels, and on the extraction of minerals for export. In addition, there is a lack of accounting for environmental liabilities produced by unequal ecological trade.
