In this piece, we focus on the role of the dictatorship in mediating the deindustrialisation of the Chilean economy, studying the case of the Ventanas copper smelter and refinery located in the costal municipalities of Quintero and Puchuncaví, one of the most emblematic sacrifice zones in Chile. To analyse this case, we mobilise the concept of noxious deindustrialisation, that is, a decline in the share of manufacturing employment in areas where polluting industries remain operative.

Abstract
In this piece, we focus on the role of the dictatorship in mediating the deindustrialisation of the Chilean economy, studying the case of the Ventanas copper smelter and refinery located in the costal municipalities of Quintero and Puchuncaví, one of the most emblematic sacrifice zones in Chile. To analyse this case, we mobilise the concept of noxious deindustrialisation, that is, a decline in the share of manufacturing employment in areas where polluting industries remain operative.
