It also shows that these risks and benefits have been unequally distributed between women and men. This project maps the ongoing dialogue between women’s issues and resource management, particularly, oil. The author attempts to answer the following questions: What are the impacts of oil projects on women in oil-rich countries? How can these impacts be explained? How can these impacts be reduced?

Specifically, the paper will examine the cases of Italians in Australia voting in the 2013 Italian elections and equally that of French citizens in Australia voting in the French Presidential and the following Legislative Elections in 2017. It examines the voting patterns there might be between those voting in the home country (Italy and France) and those voting in external electoral colleges in this case the relevant Australian college. This paper shows that those living abroad, in this case Australia, provide different political choices and low voting participation compared to domestic districts as the transnational community can be influenced by the political context of their host country.

Socio-ecological transformations beyond the unsustainable and unjust dynamics of global capitalis... more Socio-ecological transformations beyond the unsustainable and unjust dynamics of global capitalism are needed to meet the challenges of climate change. In this field of research though, there is a lack of understanding of how different principles of dominationparticularly those of class, gender and ethnicity intersect in particular conjunctures and social positions. This impedes the ability to identify openings for just and sustainable alternatives to capitalist development. The transformative processes of the neo-extractive project in Bolivia offers an opportunity to better understand how those principles intersect and how they can be addressed for just and sustainable alternatives. In this chapter, I use a framework made of the Imperial Mode of Living and Ecofeminism to test the socio-ecological articulations of the post-development model in Bolivia. It shows that while progress has made progress toward a more inclusive model, the inability of the model to address hierarchical dualistic thinking make it unjust and unsustainable.

However, like the extraction process associated with this soft, white metal, the lithium story is complex. Ignoring this complexity in pursuit of a low-carbon future risks compromising other sustainability and equality goals. A holistic approach is needed to successfully navigate the lithium challenge.

The Australian mining industry has produced social, environmental and economic contradictions. In this chapter, Helbert applies a materialist ecofeminist critique as a means of showing how the gender gap supports increased mining and its environmental problems and how the distribution of benefits of the mining industry is due to capitalist patriarchalism. She shows how capitalist accumulation in mining areas impacts upon and intersects with inequalities of class, gender, ethnicity, race and location. The locations Helbert considers in this chapter are the mining communities of the Bowen Basin and Century Mine in Queensland as well as Kalgoorlie, Pilbara, and Pembleton in Western Australia. She proposes that an ecofeminist ethics can help locate alternatives to correct the unequal distribution of the risks and benefits of mining projects between men and women in Australian communities.

Countering the vulnerability that comes with their gender, class, and race, some women have found ways to speak out against the inequality they face and remind us of the fundamental issue of justice as we face the next energy transition.
