Description

Corporations are some of the most powerful institutions of our time, but they’re also answerable for a variety of harmful social and environmental impacts. In consequence, political movements and nongovernmental organizations more and more contest the risks that corporations pose to people and nature. Mining Capitalism examines the strategies through which corporations manage their relationships with these critics and adversaries. By that specialize in the conflict over the Ok Tedi copper and gold mine in Papua New Guinea, Stuart Kirsch tells the story of a slow-moving environmental disaster and the international network of indigenous peoples, advocacy groups, and lawyers that sought to offer protection to local rivers and rain forests. Along the way, he analyzes how corporations promote their interests by manipulating science and invoking the discourses of sustainability and social responsibility. In accordance with two decades of anthropological research, this book is comparative in scope, showing readers how similar dynamics operate in other industries around the globe.
