Chapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Peasant Mobilization and the Expansion of Mining in Peru.- Chapter 3: Demands for Rights and Confrontations in the Rio Blanco-Project.- Chapter 4: Struggles to Open up new Political Spaces to Control Natural Resources.- Chapter 5: Demands for Services and Demobilization in the Bambas-Project.- Chapter 6: The Fragmented Struggle for Services.- Chapter 6: Conclusion.
This book explores how different corporate governance strategies affect community mobilization and the scope for influence when an area's population is faced with the arrival of the extraction industry. Drawing on ethnographic research into Peruvian mining localities, the author analyses a series of relationships which are characterized by confrontations, clientelism, demobilization and strategic collaboration. By presenting a detailed account of micro practices and showing how these processes are interpreted by different groups, Gustafsson offers a refined understanding of the multiple layers and informal workings of power between transnational corporations and local communities.
