| Summary: | Since the early 2000’s and in the prospect of the energy transition, the global demand for lithium has been increasing. Along with the multiplication of mining projects in the South American salt flats, the knowledge about this resource is also developing in Argentinian, Bolivian and Chilean universities. However, this knowledge is not being used by the multinational mining companies, which develop their extraction techniques abroad, thus integrating the deposits into global networks of resource’s development. The hypothesis defended in this paper is that in default of participating directly in the exploitation of lithium, the knowledge produced in the "lithium triangle" assume a social and political role on other scales (namely regional, national, local). |
