Iron Will lays bare the role of extractivist policies and efforts
to resist these policies through a deep ethnographic exploration of
globally important iron ore mining in Brazil and India. Markus
KrÖger addresses resistance strategies to extractivism and tracks
their success, or lack thereof, through a comparison of peaceful
and armed resource conflicts, explaining how different means of
resistance arise. Using the distinctly different contexts and
political systems of Brazil and India highlights the importance of
local context for resistance. For example, if there is an armed
conflict at a planned mining site, how does this influence the
possibility to use peaceful resistance strategies? To answer such
questions, KrÖger assesses the inter-relations of contentious,
electoral, institutional, judicial, and private politics that
surround conflicts and interactions, offering a new theoretical
framework of 'investment politics' that can be applied generally by
scholars and students of social movements, environmental studies,
and political economy, and even more broadly in Social Scientific
and Environmental Policy research. By drawing on a detailed field
research and other sources, this book explains precisely which
resistance strategies are able to influence both political and
economic outcomes. KrÖger expands the focus of traditionally Latin
American extractivism research to other contexts such as India and
the growing extractivist movement in the Global North. In addition,
as the book is a multi-sited political ethnography, it will appeal
to sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists,
geographers, and others using field research among other methods to
understand globalization and global political interactions. It is
the most comprehensive book on the political economy and ecology of
iron ore and steel. This is astonishing, given the fact that iron
ore is the second-most important commodity in the world after oil.
