ナイジェリア・パティギのリチウム採掘現場でのインタビューとFGDをもとに、政治生態学と補償的正義の枠組みで分析した研究。補償が単なる金銭的填補を超え、正当性・説明責任・包摂をめぐる関係的プロセスとして機能することを示す。採掘はエリートによる利益独占、治安汚職、労働の不安定化、ジェンダー不平等、環境劣化を伴う非公式ガバナンスを生み、脱炭素のための鉱物が新たな収奪的不正義を再生産しうると論じる。
English
Drawing on interviews and focus groups in Patigi, Nigeria, this study uses political ecology and compensatory justice to examine an emerging artisanal lithium frontier. It finds that extraction produces informal governance marked by elite capture, security corruption, labour precarity, gendered inequality, and environmental degradation, while compensation functions as a relational process through which communities negotiate fairness and legitimacy. The authors argue that minerals mobilized for decarbonization can reproduce extractive injustices, and call for participatory, culturally grounded approaches to transition governance.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本企業はEV向けリチウム調達でアフリカ・新興国サプライチェーンに関与しており、人権デューデリジェンスやScope 3上流の社会リスク評価を考える上で示唆がある。ただしSSBJ・有報開示への直接的な論点は限定的。
In the global GX context
As ISSB/CSRD and EU battery regulations push social and human-rights due diligence into transition-mineral supply chains, this paper shows why technocratic compensation frameworks fall short and how community legitimacy is negotiated at extraction frontiers. It adds Global South empirical evidence to the growing literature on green extractivism and just transition.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The accelerating global demand for energy transition minerals has expanded extractive frontiers across the Global South, raising important questions about how justice is negotiated in contexts where formal governance is weak. While lithium is widely promoted as essential to decarbonization, far less attention has been paid to how affected communities understand and contest the social, environmental, and political consequences of its extraction. Drawing on interviews and focus group discussions involving key informants across age, gender, and occupation in Patigi, Nigeria, this paper uses political ecology and compensational justice to examine how compensation operates as a site through which legitimacy, accountability, recognition, and inclusion are negotiated within an emerging artisanal lithium frontier. The findings show that lithium extraction has produced an informal governance regime characterized by elite capture, security corruption, labour precarity, gendered inequalities, migration, and socio-environmental degradation. They further demonstrate that compensation extends beyond financial remuneration and redress to function as a relational process through which communities evaluate fairness and negotiate claims to justice. The study also shows that extractive harms are understood through spiritual insecurity and the disruption of cultural relationships between people, land, and the more-than-human world. By situating these findings within debates on political ecology and green extractivism, the paper demonstrates how minerals mobilized for decarbonization can reproduce extractive injustices and reshape community social and moral life. The findings underscore the limitations of technocratic compensation frameworks and argue for approaches to energy transition governance that recognize compensation as a participatory and culturally grounded process of justice.
