Description

The last two decades have witnessed a dramatic expansion and intensification of mineral resource exploitation and development around the global south, especially in Latin The usa. This shift has brought mining more visibly into global public debates and spurred quite a lot of controversy and conflict. This volume assembles new scholarship that provides critical perspectives on these issues.

The book marshals original, empirical work from leading social scientists in a lot of disciplines to address a range of questions in regards to the practices of mining companies at the ground, the impacts of mining on host communities, and the responses to mining from communities, civil society and states. The book further explores the global and international causes, consequences and innovations of this new era of mining activity in Latin The usa. Key issues include the role of Canadian mining companies and their investment within the region, and, to a lesser extent, the role of Chinese mining capital. Several chapters take a regional viewpoint, at the same time as others are in accordance with empirical data from specific countries including Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru.
