Radomski, J., Ray, R., Sanborn, C., & Serrano, S. (2026). From resource curse to renewable futures? Chinese investment and a just transition in Latin America (Latin America, China and a Just Energy Transition: Working Paper Series).

The working papers in this series combine country-level and comparative studies, original datasets, and interdisciplinary perspectives to examine how China’s economic engagement intersects with Latin American development strategies and energy transition goals. Authors analyze national experiences, regional dynamics, and the role of public and private actors across key sectors related to energy, minerals, and infrastructure. The series is intended to support informed dialogue among policymakers, researchers, civil society, and international partners, and to contribute evidence-based insights for shaping more inclusive and sustainable pathways toward a just energy transition in Latin America.
