Do the struggles of local communities, activists and NGOs matter on a global scale? Why are there so many different global standards in mining?\u003cbr\u003eThis book develops a new critical political economy approach to studying extractive accumulation, drawing on three detailed Indonesian cases to explain how participatory mechanisms continuously reshape and are reshaped by community-corporate conflict. Findings highlight feedback between local social relations, conflict, transnational activism, crises of legitimacy and global governance.\u003cbr\u003eThe author argues that corporate social responsibility, community development, 'gender-mainstreaming' and environmental monitoring are neither simple outcomes of corporate ethics nor mere greenwashing strategies. Rather, participation is a mechanism to undermine resistance and create social relations amenable to extractive accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLian Sinclair is Postdoctoral Research Associate, School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney and Honorary Research Fellow, School of Humanities, Arts and Social Science at Murdoch University\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50900254097682,"sku":"9781526173331","price":135.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_4b934ad9-5509-487b-81d3-f76f78a6ec78.jpg?v=1738377239","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/undermining-resistance-the-governance-of-participation-by-multinational-mining-corporations-9781526173331","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
