Abstract

This chapter examines enclosure and exclusion within emerging forms of energy extraction and uses two case studies to illustrate five intersecting mechanisms that enable these expressions of territoriality. The first case study examines shale gas extraction in the USA. Enclosure and exclusion facilitate extraction through the coordination of historically contingent surface and subsurface ownership rights, extractive technologies, and the materiality of shale gas. The second case study analyzes enclosure and exclusion within recent biofuel promotion in India. Efforts have called for restricting cultivation of lands labeled ‘marginal’ or ‘wastelands’, rendering the commons ‘empty’, and ‘making space’ for biofuel plantations. Showing how mechanisms of enclosure and exclusion intersect, the chapter offers frameworks to contend with the spatial (re)configurations of power within emerging forms of energy extraction.
