Spanish to English: Post-extractivism in Argentina: A new arena for alternatives to development General field: Bus/Financial
Source text - Spanish Postextractivismos en Argentina: La nueva frontera de las alternativas al desarrollo
En Argentina es evidente el protagonismo de los llamados extractivismos, como la minería o los monocultivos, que se nutren de una apropiación intensa y voluminosa de recursos naturales para exportarlos a mercados globales. A pesar que muchos creen que esa problemática es ajena al país, la realidad es muy distinta. Es que Argentina es uno de esos casos particulares donde están presentes casi todos sus tipos: minero, petrolero, agrícola y pesquero.
Ese tipo de estrategias generan desde un lado una fuerte subordinación a la globalización, y desde el otro, una catarata de impactos negativos en la sociedad y el ambiente, que superan largamente cualquier beneficio económico.
Translation - English In Argentina it is evident that so-called extractivist industries, such as mining or single-crop agriculture, are players in the avid consumption of vast quantities of natural resources and their export to global markets. Despite the widespread belief that this has no adverse impact on the country, the reality is quite different. Argentina is one of a few countries which practice all types of extractive industries: mining, oil extraction, agriculture and fishing.
These strategies have a two-fold effect: they generate strong dependency on global markets, and they unleash a range of adverse impacts on society and the environment which far exceed their economic benefits.

Experience
Years of experience: 4. Registered at ProZ.com: Mar 2018.
I am a linguist and HR professional with a passion for interpreting, translation and subtitling. I lived in Bogota, Colombia, for 10 years, and now I'm based in Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh.
I specialise in HR and I was HR manager for an international IT business in the hospitality sector and an HR consultant providing services to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in various sectors. Through my work experience I have developed excellent communication skills. I understand the importance of what is said and written in any corporate environment. I have first hand experience working in different organisations in sectors such as manufacturing, services, non-profit, education.
I obtained a Masters in Translation and Interpreting in 2020 to fulfil my ambition of working with languages. As a student, I visited the European Commission in Brussels in April 2019 to experience dummy booth simultaneous interpreting for the European Forum on the Rights of the Child.
I have a keen interest in education / youth work. I taught English in a summer camp in Extremadura, Spain, and I ran my own Spanish classes for children for 5 years. I volunteer as a Scout leader and I have held voluntary leadership roles in community groups.
