{"product_id":"undermining-resistance-lian-sinclair-9781526197917","title":"Undermining Resistance: The Governance of Participation by Multinational Mining Corporations","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy do multinational mining corporations use participation to undermine resistance? 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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lian Sinclair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152619791X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526197917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.49d","brand":"Lian Sinclair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447152455935,"sku":"9781526197917","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16582edf-4616-4638-bf2b-2761081bc5ac.jpg?v=1777229187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/undermining-resistance-lian-sinclair-9781526197917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
