{"product_id":"when-communities-confront-corporations-austin-onuoha-9781906704049","title":"When Communities Confront Corporations: Comparing Shell's Presence in Ireland and Nigeria","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn April of 2005 Shell sought an injunction in a Dublin court against residents of Erris in northwestern Republic of Ireland who were obstructing the laying of pipelines across their lands. On June 29, 2005 the court convicted and jailed five people for failing to comply with the order of the High Court restraining them from interfering with Shell's project. When Communities Confront Corporations examines the issues and events that led to the incarceration of the Rossport Five and how it resonates with events in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It argues that conflicts between communities and corporations, though pervasive, do not appear to receive adequate scholarly attention. The book compares the altercations between Shell and the Erris communities in Ireland and the responses to these conflicts, with similar conflicts generated in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria by the presence of the oil giant. It challenges the so-called conspiracy theory, which is often associated with the oil company's operations in the Niger Delta and argues that the key difference between the two sets of conflicts and responses to them is the context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Onuoha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 190670404X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906704049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Adonis \u0026amp; Abbey Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Austin Onuoha","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520613236991,"sku":"9781906704049","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1126e59f-edef-47e6-a378-369d6168ba9e.jpg?v=1762886121","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-communities-confront-corporations-austin-onuoha-9781906704049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
