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","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830030094494,"sku":"ADS-9781526173331","price":199.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526173331.jpg?v=1778558414","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526173331","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
