智利安托法加斯塔沙漠矿区在 20 世纪 90 年代因外国直接投资 (FDI) 而实现了惊人的经济增长，主要是开发该地区丰富的铜矿床。在被国际金融机构视为经济表现典范的国家中，安托法加斯塔被称为模范地区，智利20世纪90年代的经济社会发展被认为是其他拉美国家的典范。然而，必须谨慎审查基于统计数据的发展指数，因为人类福祉不一定与经济增长保持同步。本文分析了安托法加斯塔地区随着经济加速增长可能出现的问题，以及这些问题如何影响环境以及地区劳动力市场。文章还研究了当地政府最近提出的安托法加斯塔区域经济战略，并为该地区的可持续经济发展提出了新的替代方案。
The desert mining region of Antofagasta, Chile, enjoyed spectacular economic growth in the 1990s as a result of foreign direct investment (FDI), mainly in the exploitation of the region’s rich copper deposits. In a country considered by international financial institutions to be a good example of economic performance, Antofagasta has been termed a model region,and Chile’s economic and social development in the 1990s has been considered a suitable model for other Latin American countries. However, development indices based on statistical data must be examined with caution, as human welfare does not necessarily keep pace with economic growth. This article analyses the Antofagasta Region in terms of problems that may occur in conjunction with accelerated economic growth, and how these can affect the environment, as well as the regional labour market. The article also examines a regional economic strategy for Antofagasta recently proposed by the local government, and suggests new alternatives for the sustainable economic development of the region.
