This book offers a pioneering window into the elusive workings of
state-corporate crime within the mining industry. It follows a
campaign of resistance organised by indigenous activists on the
island of Bougainville, who struggled to close a Rio Tinto owned
copper mine, and investigates the subsequent state-corporate
response, which led to the shocking loss of some 10,000 lives.
Drawing on internal records and interviews with senior officials,
Kristian Lasslett examines how an articulation of capitalist growth
mediated through patrimonial politics, imperial state-power,
large-scale mining, and clan-based, rural society, prompted an
ostensibly 'responsible' corporate citizen, and liberal state
actors, to organise a counterinsurgency campaign punctuated with
gross human rights abuses. State Crime on the Margins of Empire
represents a unique intervention rooted in a classical Marxist
tradition that challenges positivist streams of criminological
scholarship, in order to illuminate with greater detail the
historical forces faced by communities in the global south caught
in the increasingly violent dynamics of the extractive industries.
